Should ask who their Subs are and make sure you check reviews on them as well.
Get their best-guess on start and complete dates............they won't hit, but you will have an idea.
Request insurance certificates.
Have them get ARC approval, but require you get a copy of approval.
Obviously get two or three estimates.

Kudoo's to you, one of the few who actually answered the posted question, others seemed to only tell the person to do this or that, check with the ARC department, etc. But you actually gave good advice. I might add one tip, CALL the state's toll free number personally AFTER the contractor gives you their insurance and license numbers. We had the interesting experience of taking those off the contractor's van and card.... they WERE real numbers, trouble is the license was issued and NEVER renewed... the contractor had simply bought a number to use and then never kept it in force. State said they ONLY send reminders, they do not make personal visits to force contractors to keep their license and insurance in force.... so beware !
