Just checking back in! Ended up identifying three highly recommended contractors and asked for quotes from each. Basically all turned in consistent numbers at $500 to $550 per zone and nearly identical layouts of zones, rotors, and sprays. We selected the contractor who had the middle-price, but was willing to work with us on component selection and still cover with their full warranty plus offered 180-day same as cash financing since we are $1000 over what we thought the cost would be. Ended up...
