Do the install yourself and save $400. I don't know your situation though. A Saturday afternoon in the backyard with your boys while someone else does the hard work might be worth $400.

I've always installed these myself. The first one will take you about 3 hours. The second one will take about 1 hour. Lol. So start at 8, your done by noon, and you can go enjoy your $400.

If you decide to have it professionally installed I'd go with a local company. I NEVER use Lowe's of Home Depot for any installs as they simply contract out and you have no control over who shows up at your place.
