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 verify a license?
Through your state or local licensing authority directly. Do not rely on a logo or a screenshot.
Why does workers compensation matter to me?
If someone is injured on your property without coverage, exposure can land closer to you than you would expect.
