Quote-comparison checklist
A low total can reflect a narrower scope. Ask each contractor to answer the same checklist in writing before comparing price.
- Ask what labor, materials, permits, cleanup, disposal, warranty, and exclusions are included.
- Compare written quotes with the same scope, timing, and access assumptions.
- Verify licensing, insurance, local code requirements, and address-specific conditions before approving work.
- Ask for diagnosis, labor, parts, permit handling, cleanup, warranty, and excluded restoration as separate line items.
- Confirm whether the price includes travel, dispatch, after-hours premiums, testing, disposal, and return visits.
