Overpriced
+28% above market| Item | Quoted | Fair | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tile labor (120 sq ft) | $3,600 | $2,000–$2,800 | very high |
| Vanity + installation | $2,200 | $1,800–$2,400 | fair |
| Plumbing rough-in | $1,800 | $1,200–$1,600 | high |
What to push back on
→ Tile labor in this range appears above the typical regional average — consider asking for an itemized breakdown of labor vs material
→ Permit fees are often passed through at cost — consider asking what the actual municipal fee is, with a receipt

The traps hiding in your contractor quote
Six things Is My Quote Fair? catches that most people miss.
Permit Fee Markups
Permits are typically passed through at cost. We surface unusually high permit lines so you can ask for the municipal receipt.
Material Pricing Gaps
When material lines look priced above typical retail or wholesale, we surface them for discussion.
Vague Line Items
Vague items like 'site prep' or 'contingency' without breakdown are worth asking about. We flag them for clarification.
Regional Price Context
Contractor rates vary widely by zip code. We compare your quote against typical pricing for your area.
Optional Upsells
Premium underlayment, higher-end fixtures, extended warranties — we surface upsell-style line items so you can decide if they're worth it.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you might be wondering before paying.
How does Is My Quote Fair? work?
Paste the quote, drop your zip. Our AI compares each line against typical regional pricing data, surfaces lines that appear above the typical range, and drafts talking points you can adapt for a conversation with the contractor. Informational only — not a substitute for getting two more quotes from licensed local contractors.
What types of contractor quotes can I check?
Kitchen and bathroom remodels, roofing, landscaping, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, drywall, flooring, painting, tree work — most residential renovation and repair. Commercial too.
How does it know regional pricing?
Our AI is trained on contractor pricing across US zip codes — labor rates, material costs, permit fees, typical markups. It's not a live appraisal — it's a typical range based on aggregated data, which can vary by scope, materials, and market conditions.
Is my quote information kept private?
Your quote goes to our AI provider for the analysis and then it's gone. No storage, no reselling, no database.
Can I upload a PDF quote?
Yep — PDF, Word, plain text, or a photo of the paper quote. Drag and drop and go.
What if my contractor's quote is in the typical range?
Then we say so — and that's worth $9.99 on its own. Knowing the quote sits in a typical range for your zip is a lot less stressful than signing it and wondering.
What if the comparison is wrong?
AI can make mistakes — sometimes confidently. Regional pricing data is approximate, not a live appraisal, and may not reflect your specific scope. You are responsible for verifying any specific (line-item ranges, suggested counter-amounts, scope assumptions) before acting, and for getting at least one more quote from a licensed local contractor. We're not liable for any project, contractor, or pricing outcome. If the analysis itself won't run, our refund policy covers that.
Is this professional construction or appraisal advice?
No. We are not a licensed contractor, appraiser, or estimator. Regional pricing estimates are approximations, not live quotes. For structural, electrical, or plumbing decisions, consult a licensed contractor or your local building department.
How much does it cost?
$9.99 per quote. One payment, no account, no subscription. Pay, paste, get your comparison.
