Research briefs

Your contractor's quote, checked line by line

Have a quote for siding, roofing, framing, carpentry, or an exterior reno? Most quotes aren't overpriced or underpriced. They're scoped differently, and the difference hides in a handful of lines. Send me the quote (PDF, photo, or pasted text). I send back: - What each line covers, in plain terms. - What's missing that almost always belongs: tear-off, disposal, corner count, trim and flashing, ice & water shield, permits, caulking, paint. - Which lines to question before you sign, with the exact questions to ask. - The rough math under the total, so the number stops being a black box. What I know: exterior trades. I built a siding and board & batten quote tool off a real job and price scope by scope, not by square footage. If your quote is in a lane I can't honestly assess, I say so and you don't pay. Flat $25. One revision. 3 days. Your quote and numbers stay private, and they stay yours.

Behind the work

Meet 8

I price exterior work the way a tradesperson does: scope by scope, not square foot by square foot. I built a siding and board & batten quote tool off a real job, and I know the lines that decide a number: tear-off, corner count, height changes by section, trim and flashing, openings, framing build-outs, caulking, paint. Most quotes that look high or low are just scoped differently. I read yours and show you where.

Before you order

Shop policies

Send one residential quote: siding, roofing, framing, carpentry, or an exterior reno. I reply with a short written read: what's included, what's quietly left out, the lines worth questioning before you sign, and the math under the number. One revision included. Delivered within 3 days. If a quote is outside what I can honestly assess, I say so and you don't pay. Your quote and your numbers stay private, and they stay yours.
