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 whether the quote includes both springs when appropriate, safety cables, balancing, opener adjustment, and disposal.
- Confirm door size, material, insulation value, window layout, color, wind rating, and warranty terms.
- For emergency service, ask which surcharge applies and whether parts are stocked before approving the visit.
- 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.
