Request a remodel reviewTwo contractors may quote the same bathroom and describe completely different scopes. One might include demolition, disposal and glass; the other may leave those out. A review helps you identify what each proposal actually says before deciding which questions to ask.
The Homeowner Remodel Review starts at $150 for one proposal covering one room or trade. Russell confirms what to send, the fee and the turnaround first. He reviews your quote and any agreed supporting materials, then follows up with feedback and questions you can take back to your contractor.
