You should beware of any bid that is substantially lower than the others.
“It probably indicates that the contractor made a mistake or is not including all the work quoted by his or her competitors. You may be headed for a dispute with your contractor if you accept an abnormally low bid." Quote from the California State License Board.
Beware of the 1-page hand-written vague proposal.
Vague proposals leave you open for up-charges after the job has begun when you are at the mercy of the contractor. The written contract should include a thorough description of the work to be done—specifying all materials to be used in terms of quality, quantity, weight, color, size, brand name, etc.
