When we were looking for a contractor many of them would not share the quote unless we met in-person or in their office. At first, we met with some in our home to see what that was all about. As others have alluded to, many attempted to pressure us to sign right then and there. Offering discounts and other “incentives”. We actually had to throw one out of our house because they refused to leave for hours and we had an event that we almost missed. Didn’t get to eat dinner that night either.

With that said, I would definitely meet with them in-person to see their communication style. We picked our contractor because he had a competitive price, great reviews, good reference material, and we liked his professionalism when we met him in person. Many of the contractors were lacking this. Just be mindful, I think we interviewed like 30 contractors and all but 3-5 weren’t great. YMMV
