← Contractor Quote AuditorWhat to check on the estimate
- Eight core sections to verify
- License and insurance verification line
- Permit responsibility line
- Warranty split line
- Payment schedule line
- Signature and date of the answers
Questions worth asking
- Do I have written answers for all eight sections?
- Did I verify the license with the issuing authority rather than the quote?
- Did I record who pulls the permit?
- Did I write down both warranty lengths?
- Did I record what the deposit buys?
- Did I date the answers so I can compare quote revisions?
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 do I print this?
Use your browser print function. A PDF export of the checklists is planned; the page itself prints cleanly today.
Can I reuse this for multiple quotes?
Yes. Printing one per contractor is the simplest way to compare answers side by side.
