Questions worth asking

- What warranty are you including?
- What measurements is your price based on?
- Where do you think the other quote differs from yours?
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.

Is it fair to share one quote with another contractor?
Sharing scope is normal and makes bids comparable. Sharing a competitor’s pricing is a personal judgement call.
How many opinions are enough?
Two well-matched bids beat five mismatched ones.
