Also, save yourself some possible future problems, contact ARC directly with your proposed plans to see if this will be acceptable, you may need a final set of plans to a final decision. I prefer to get ARC approval myself, as I relied on a contractor to do this once, and they did not file the forms....
Also, I would make a follow-up call to the building department to confirm all the required permits are pulled, had a problem with this also, showed up 18 months later, long story.
Finally, double check license, insurance, etc., with whatever contractor you pick, a call to Seniors against Crime should help with this. For big jobs, the contractor may file a lien against your house, so HOLD final payment until your get a letter of release of the lien.
Hope this helps.
