Look, just accept that you're going to end up hating your contractor and you'll be fine.

You never said where... Seattle?
My experience is that 10% of the contractors are great, and they have year long waitlists.
The remaining 90% are no better than what you could do yourself, normally worse... most of them learned their trade during the bubble from 2000-2007, where few people were checking quality because everybody was just flipping the house -- and their poor quality shows.
My single biggest piece of advice is avoid people that haven't been in business since before 1999, check local references, and expect to be put on a waitlist if they are good. Good people are in demand. Those that don't have a waitlist -- there is a reason they don't have a waitlist.
