How to effectively compare quotes and pick the best value.
Comparing Quotes
When you receive quotes from multiple pros, here's how to make the best decision:
Look beyond price
- What's included — Does the quote cover materials, labor, cleanup, and disposal?
- Timeline — How quickly can they start and finish?
- Warranty — Do they guarantee their work?
- Experience — How many similar projects have they completed?
The lowest price isn't always the best
A significantly lower quote might mean corners will be cut, materials will be cheaper, or the pro is less experienced. The best value is a fair price from a highly-rated, experienced professional.
