I would not consider Home Depot to be a contractor. They sell materials, and they have a list of independent installers. One advantage to Home Depot is that, if you have a disaster, they are big enough to be able to resolve the problem, and they won't disappear like some smaller contractors will.
But, whoever you hire, do not pay any money in advance. I am amazed at how many posters on TOTV will warn people not to hire a certain contractor, when the real problem is that they paid the contractor in advance, and he disappeared.
