Price
The basis of price is important and should be evaluated very carefully! Do not hire a contractor with the lowest estimate. Examine and breakdown each estimate. Are materials the same quality?

Weigh all the factors--price, references, and professionalism in making a decision that will affect the biggest asset you have.
