Get 4 or 5 separate installers over to the house for estimates for you - yes - literally - at the same time. That way you get them to quote prices to you at the same time and one can tell if the other one is padding expenses or not. Then, you get the cheapest price. That's when you ask them about making the floor level, for example.
