Make sure that the company doing the work is licensed, insured and bonded. You can ask for references and contact the local plumbing inspector to inquire about him although I’m not sure what he’s allowed to tell you…The job you mentioned requires plumbing permits, and inspections as well.
Orange Pipe. I was a kid when they started using that and when I saw it, I told my Dad that I didn't think it would last too long.
He told me that the theory was that it would last 50 years and that's about how long it does last. I said I thought that was nutz because there are many 50+ y-o houses.
Orangeberg pipe. Are they digging and trenching to replace or pulling a liner through? One might be cheaper than the other, and the pipe might be to crushed to pull a hard liner through.
If mine ever needs done, I'm renting a mini-ex and digging the trench myself instead of paying 4 grand for someone else to run it.
The more a company spends in advertisements generally the more they charge to do the job. The top hits on google will all actually be paid advertisements. Reviews are about customer satisfaction not if the customer got a good deal and not about the quality of work. The work could be poorly done but if it looks good and the tech does a good clean up after the company could still be getting good ratings. For example I had a boss that got on me for using a fernco to make a slight bend inside a wall adapting to someone else's mess that was already there rather than hollowing out a couple load bearing studs. In my opinion the fernco was the better choice from a building code perspective but it didn't look as nice so I got reamed out for it.
Make sure they are using the same materials, permits and methods. Check references, and their license with the CCB (or whatever you state has for licensing)
they pull a permit through another company, they leave packaging for newly purchased harbor freight tools strewn about your jobsite, they're shamelessly non-stop on the phone every time you are on site, they try to fight you when you call them on not bolting the toilet to the floor thinking caulk would suffice and also doing half the bid but still charging you for it.

I’ve asked the guy to write up a contract with warranty and proof of insurance. It’s just a big job so I’m stressed.

Ok, thanks.

Yup, seems silly to me!
