← Contractor Quote AuditorWhat to check on the estimate
- Same scope of work in each quote
- Same material grade and model numbers
- Same warranty length and coverage type
- Same permit and cleanup responsibility
- Same payment structure and deposit
- Same timeline and completion window
Questions worth asking
- Are all of these quotes covering identical scope?
- Where does the cheapest quote differ in materials or exclusions?
- Which quote carries the longest labor warranty?
- Which quotes include permits, cleanup and disposal?
- Which payment structure leaves me least exposed?
- What would make the middle quote the safest choice rather than the cheapest?
Run your own quote
Paste or upload the estimate. The free scan lists the sections it found, the sections that look missing or unclear, and a question list you can send to the contractor. It does not tell you whether a price is fair, because that is not something a document review can answer.

How many quotes should I get?
Three is the common answer, but three quotes on three different scopes are worse than two on the same written scope.
Should I always take the lowest?
A lower total often means something was left out. Find the missing line before deciding.
