Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about reviewing a contractor quote with QuoteCheck.
- What is QuoteCheck?
- QuoteCheck is an AI tool that reviews contractor quotes for home projects. You upload or paste a quote and get a plain-English summary of the scope, a list of missing or ambiguous items, a fairness check on the price, and specific questions to ask before you sign.
- How does QuoteCheck analyze my contractor quote?
- You provide the project type and ZIP code, then paste the quote text or upload a PDF or photo. The AI extracts the scope of work, flags items that are commonly missing (like permits, warranty terms, or material specifications), estimates whether the total is within a fair range for the work, and drafts negotiation questions.
- Is QuoteCheck free?
- Every upload includes a free locked summary with a high-level verdict and a top-risk preview. You only pay if you choose to unlock the full report for a single quote or a side-by-side comparison of two quotes.
- Which types of projects and trades does it support?
- QuoteCheck works for common home projects including roofing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, flooring, insulation and attic work, fences and gates, landscaping, and general construction or remodels.
- How do you decide whether my price is fair?
- The analysis weighs the described scope, materials, and your location to estimate a typical price range for comparable work, then tells you whether your quote falls below, within, or above that range. It is an estimate to guide your conversation, not a formal appraisal.
- Can I compare two contractor quotes?
- Yes. The comparison report puts two quotes side by side, identifies differences in scope and price, highlights what each one is missing, and calls out which option offers more value and fewer risks.
- Is my quote data private?
- Quote text is sent to the AI provider only to produce your analysis and is not used to train models. See our Privacy Policy for the full list of third-party services and your data choices.
- Is QuoteCheck a substitute for professional advice?
- No. QuoteCheck provides AI-generated estimates for educational purposes. Always verify findings with a qualified, licensed local professional before making financial or legal commitments.
