Quote-comparison checklist

A low total can reflect a narrower scope. Ask each contractor to answer the same checklist in writing before comparing price.

  1. Ask for a room-by-room scope with labor, material allowances, permits, design, demolition, cleanup, and warranty terms separated.
  2. Confirm who coordinates licensed plumbing, electrical, gas, HVAC, and inspection work and who is responsible for corrections.
  3. Compare the same cabinet, fixture, countertop, tile, appliance, and finish assumptions across bids.
  4. Ask for diagnosis, labor, parts, permit handling, cleanup, warranty, and excluded restoration as separate line items.
  5. Confirm whether the price includes travel, dispatch, after-hours premiums, testing, disposal, and return visits.
