← Contractor Quote AuditorWhat to check on the estimate
- Repair versus partial replacement versus full re-pipe stated clearly
- Pipe material and fitting type named
- Wall, floor or ceiling opening and who patches it
- Pressure testing after the work
- Permit and inspection responsibility
- Emergency rate versus standard rate
Questions worth asking
- Is this a repair, a partial replacement, or a full re-pipe?
- What pipe material is being installed, and why that one?
- Who patches and paints any wall or ceiling that gets opened?
- Is pressure testing after the work included?
- Does this job require a permit, and who pulls it?
- Is this quoted at an emergency rate or a standard rate?

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.

Why does patching matter on a plumbing quote?
Opening a wall is part of the job; closing it often is not. If patch and paint are excluded you may need a second trade, which changes the real total.
Is a cheaper pipe material a bad sign?
No, but it should be named. Material choice affects lifespan and warranty, so it belongs in writing rather than in a conversation.
