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.

What derails remodels most often?
Low allowances and undocumented change orders. Both are visible before you sign if you ask.
Should I hire a general contractor or separate trades?
That is a personal trade-off between coordination effort and cost. Either way, the scope questions are the same.
