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.

Frequently asked

Is a verbal warranty worth anything?

Harder to rely on. Asking for one or two lines in the written quote costs nothing and removes the ambiguity.

What is a typical labor warranty?

It varies widely by trade and region. Rather than a benchmark, get the number written down so you can compare quotes.
