+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 at $30/sq ft is nearly double the regional average — ask for an itemized breakdown
→ Permit fees should be passed through at cost ($200-400) — not marked up to $800

The traps hiding in your contractor quote
Six things Is My Quote Fair? catches that most people miss.
Marked-Up Permit Fees
Permits should be passed through at cost ($200-400 for most residential jobs). Contractors marking them up to $800+ are padding the invoice.
Material Overcharges
Big-box store materials often marked up 30-50% beyond wholesale. We catch when quotes charge 'premium' rates for standard materials.
Phantom Line Items
Vague line items like 'site prep' or 'contingency' that aren't itemized are often pure profit. We flag them for clarification.
Regional Price Gaps
Contractor rates vary 40-60% between zip codes. A $5,000 bathroom in Indiana is $12,000 in the Bay Area. We adjust for your location.
Unnecessary Upsells
Premium underlayment, high-end fixtures you didn't ask for, 'lifetime warranty' add-ons — we spot upsells disguised as necessities.
Early user feedback
What users are saying
Is My Quote Fair? is new — these are notes from our first users. Real customer reviews will replace this block once we have three or more.
“Got a bathroom remodel quote for $18,400. Is My Quote Fair? said it was about 28% over market rate for my zip code — specifically flagged the tile labor at $30/sq ft vs a $18-22 regional average, and a permit fee that was marked up from around $300 to $800. Contractor agreed to come down $3,200 after I asked for itemization.”
Rachel P.
Homeowner, Portland OR
“I was about to hire the first contractor I talked to for $14,800 — no frame of reference for fair. Is My Quote Fair? flagged the demo and disposal line as ~2x market. Got two more quotes and landed the same job for $11,200. Literally $3,600 saved on a $9.99 check.”
James H.
First-time homeowner
“Commercial HVAC replacement quote came in at $42,000. Is My Quote Fair? flagged that the labor estimate was nearly double what typical rates are for commercial in my area and that the equipment was being marked up 40% over wholesale. I got a second opinion and ended up at $36,500 with a better unit.”

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 runs every line against what that work actually costs in your area, flags the padded items, and writes you a pushback message you can send the contractor without sounding like a jerk.
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. If a contractor gave you a number, we can check it.
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 adjusts for your area, because $30/sq ft tile labor is robbery in Ohio and a discount in Manhattan.
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 actually fair?
Then we say so — and that's worth $9.99 on its own. Knowing a $28,000 bathroom is actually fair for your zip is a lot less stressful than signing it and wondering.
How much does it cost?
$9.99 per quote. One payment, no account, no subscription. Pay, paste, get your report.
