Which quote to accept on renovator?

[Ryan Spearman]

I recently bought a small 2 bedroom unit that was already tenanted. It is in need of quite a bit of cosmetic work inside, but I don't want to do the work around the tenant, and I don't want to lose him, he is very good.

Fortunately, he is going away for 3 weeks so I can complete the work while he's away. I have got quotes from 2 different companies, they are wildly different in price, but I am still considering going with the more expensive one, simply because it seems like they are more professional and I worry that they will do a much better job than the cheap guy.

What do you normally do in this situation? 

The cheaper guy is a general handyman and has included lots of other work in his quote; re-siliconing the shower, repairing a couple of doors, repairing some doors, reputtying windows plus all the painting. 

The expensive outfit is just a redecorator. They will simply do all the painting/wallpapering.

The price difference is 6657 vs 4163.

Any recommendations?
