Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Quote Check tool work?

Enter the service type, job details, your ZIP code, and the total amount quoted. Our tool compares your quote against real pricing data from thousands of contractors across the U.S., adjusted for your location, to tell you whether the price is fair, high, or a great deal.

Is this tool really free?

Yes, completely free with no signup required. We built Quote Check to help homeowners make informed decisions about repair and replacement costs.

How do I know if my repair quote is fair?

A fair quote typically falls within the 25th to 75th percentile of what other homeowners pay for the same service in your area. Our tool shows you exactly where your quote lands on that range, along with the local average and typical low/high prices.

What services can I check quotes for?

You can check quotes for HVAC/AC, furnace repair, plumbing, water heaters, electrical work, garage doors, tree service, sewer lines, foundation repair, gutters, and mold remediation — covering the most common home repair and replacement services.

Should I get multiple quotes before hiring a contractor?

Yes. We recommend getting at least 2-3 quotes for any job over $500. This helps you understand the fair market price in your area and gives you negotiating leverage. Our Quote Check tool can help you evaluate each quote you receive.

What should I do if my quote is too high?

If our tool flags your quote as above average, consider getting additional quotes from other licensed contractors. You can also use the detailed breakdown to ask your contractor to explain specific line items. Sometimes a higher quote reflects better materials or warranty coverage.
