Frequently Asked Questions

How many quotes should I get for a project?

We recommend getting at least 3 quotes for any significant project. This gives you a good sense of the market rate and helps you identify outliers that may be too high or suspiciously low.

What information should I collect from contractors?

Beyond price, collect details about their timeline, what's included (materials, labor, cleanup), warranty on work, insurance/licensing info, and references. Our quote form helps you capture all these details.

How accurate is the DIY savings calculator?

The savings calculator compares contractor quotes against your estimated material costs. Keep in mind that DIY doesn't account for your time value, but it helps you make an informed decision about whether to DIY or hire out.

Can I manage contractor contact info?

Yes, you can save contractor contact information, notes about your interactions, and track which contractors you've used in the past. This makes it easy to reach out again for future projects.
