Calling one contractor and then just hiring him without even taking a look at the others isn't a good idea. If you got a personal recommendation from somebody trustworthy then this may be the only exception. Otherwise, it would be best to get a few different estimates before you go ahead and make a choice. Any estimates you get should be free, you shouldn't be required to hand over money just for somebody visiting your home and having a look around. You should also record the estimates so that you know exactly how much it'll all cost. Doing this will enable you to compare contractors, allowing you to see if you're being over charged for something.
