The Quote Checker / Home renovations & repairs · U.S.
A second look before you build.
From kitchen and bathroom remodels to home repairs, take a closer look at your contractor quote. The Quote Checker helps homeowners spot missing details, compare the scope, and prepare better questions before signing.
Clearer questions. Not a verdict on your contractor.
“Are materials, cleanup, and disposal included in this total?”
Illustrative checklist item · not a customer quote
Our starting point:
homeowner clarity.
Less guesswork / More context
The total is only
part of the story.
Two quotes can look similar and cover very different jobs. We focus on what’s written, what’s missing, and what to clarify next.
Starting small, on purpose.
We’re validating a manual approach for home renovations and repairs across the United States: kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, painting, plumbing, electrical work, additions, and more. Start with the checklist below; this site does not provide instant automated reviews.
Make the scope visible
Look for material specifications, removal and disposal, permits, cleanup, and exclusions. Turn vague line items into specific questions.
Compare like with like
Put differences in materials, quantities, warranties, and included work side by side. A lower total may reflect a different scope.
Leave with a conversation plan
Prepare questions about payment milestones, timing, change orders, and warranty terms before agreeing to the job.
A quote review is educational guidance, not a site inspection or legal advice. Prices depend on location, materials, and job conditions; ClearBuild does not certify contractors or determine an objectively correct price.
An example / More questions, fewer surprises
“Remodel the kitchen or bathroom.”
What else would you ask?
Illustrative remodel wording, not a customer quote. Kitchens and bathrooms involve several trades, so a short description can leave important details open.
- 01Which cabinets, countertops, fixtures, and finishes are included?
- 02Does the scope include plumbing, electrical work, and any needed waterproofing or permits?
- 03How are demolition, disposal, hidden damage, and changes to the plan handled?
