Contractor quote review

That $18,000 quote. Is it fair?

How it works

Quote to confident in three steps.

Before you sign anything or hand over a deposit.

1

Upload the quote

Snap a photo or upload the PDF of your contractor’s written quote, and tell us the project details — in plain English.

2

We review it line by line

Every line gets checked against fair-price ranges and the classic contractor red-flag patterns, each flagged high, medium, or low confidence. Nothing invented — only what’s on the quote.

3

Negotiate with confidence

You get a verdict (fair / high / low / suspiciously low), the red flags in plain English, and a negotiation letter you can send before you sign.

The patterns

Red flags we hunt for.

The tricks that turn a fair project into an expensive lesson.

💸

Padded pricing

Line items priced well above typical market ranges for the same work — the most common way quotes inflate.

🌫️

Vague line items

“Labor: $8,000” with no breakdown of hours, tasks, or crew. Vague lines are where overcharges hide.

🚩

Oversized deposits

Demanding 40–50% upfront before work begins. Standard practice is usually a fraction of that.

🪤

Suspiciously low bids

A quote far below everyone else often means cut corners, missing scope, or change-order games later.

📄

Missing protections

No written warranty, no timeline, no payment schedule tied to milestones — all things a solid quote includes.

🧾

Material markups

Materials billed far above retail. We flag the ones worth questioning — and the ones that are actually fair.

Pricing

One price. No subscription.

A fraction of what one overpriced line item costs you.

FAQ

Fair questions.

What exactly do I get for $29?

A line-by-line review of your contractor’s quote with a fairness verdict (fair / high / low / suspiciously low), each red flag explained in plain English with a confidence level, questions to ask before you sign, and a personalized negotiation letter as a PDF. One payment, no subscription.

Do you recommend other contractors?

No — and that’s the point. We take zero referral fees from any contractor, which is exactly why you can trust our verdict. We’ll tell you how the quote compares to typical ranges so you can negotiate or shop around yourself.

I only have a verbal quote. Can you still help?

Yes. We’ll review what you describe, and your report will include exactly what to demand in writing — line-item breakdown, payment schedule, warranty — before you agree to anything.

Is this legal or financial advice?

No. QuoteCheck is an independent review service, not a law firm or financial advisor. Price ranges are approximate general-market ranges, not live local pricing — but the red flags and negotiation tactics apply anywhere.

How fast is it?

Your report typically arrives by email within a few minutes of payment, as a PDF you can use before you sign or negotiate.
