You can find contractors many ways: friends, advertisements, Internet, etc. But the first thing one should always do when considering a company is to check for referrals and credentials. 
Unfortunately many "Remodelers/Contractors"
have begun remodeling without the ability to pass or clear a background check, and/or have lost their primary job and therefore started a "company" without any prior knowledge, skill, and/or experience and education.

When comparing estimates (which you should always have more than one conducted), one needs to look at more than just the price. Furthermore, you cannot make an educated decision until all the contractors have given a bid for the same scope of work. If a project is being underbid (cheap) you will most likely have problems all throughout or after the project is completed, but there have been a few instances where companies that had over bid (expensive) when their product had little to no quality compared to the lesser bidders. Example: 

Contractor ABC might be trying to sell you a poor quality job at a high cost, while Contractor XYZ may be trying to sell you a high quality job at a much more reasonable and moderate cost. 

If you look on the Internet, and find the countless stories about "bad contractors" you will most likely read things such as: "not being punctual with the completion of the project", "problems with the project after the contractor left", "never been able to get a hold of them to solve the issue", "took off with my money before completion", and much worse. We are different and here is why.
