Because if there's an issue, a contractor gets a lien against the house, and there are potential issues if all owners of the property (including a spouse who isn't on the deed but has a dower interest) didn't consent to the work.

Now, if they won't talk to a wife alone, but they will talk to a husband alone, that's a whole 'nother thing.
