After 30 years of owning my own home my red flag is when they say "this is going to be a big job".

Probably because it is, they don't like you, or they don't want the job.

I'm not trying to be mean, but contractors will price it outrageously or say "this will be a big job" because they don't want the job, so you say no.

I have plenty of experience working with contractors. I am a contractor. Many of my friends are contractors. When there is an abundance of work they'll bid high. If they don't get the job no big deal. If they get paid well then why not take it on, push lesser paying jobs back. Both times I heard this phrase they were making a big deal about nothing and I got someone to do it much cheaper.
