QuoteChecker.ai FAQ
What is QuoteChecker.ai?
QuoteChecker.ai is a tactical audit tool built to decode, analyze, and flag the most opaque, overpriced, and predatory contractor quotes in residential construction. It exists so homeowners aren’t trapped by vague PDFs stuffed with unclear scope and inflated charges.
Why was QuoteChecker.ai created?
The system was born after I received a $158,000 remodel quote that hid a $25,000 charge for a 45 square foot laundry room I had already scoped, sourced, and partially completed. When the contractor responded with a vague, bloated PDF instead of itemization, it became clear that a defensive audit system was needed.
How does QuoteChecker.ai inspect a contractor quote?
Upload a contractor quote in PDF or plaintext and QuoteChecker.ai will:
Analyze each line item for specificity, material inclusion, and scope definition
Detect bundled labor or composite charges that lack breakdowns
Flag pricing inconsistencies or missing quantities
Assign a transparency score based on scope clarity, pricing logic, and benchmark realism
Offer AI-assisted recommendations for follow-up questions or contract terms to clarify
How does QuoteChecker.ai give homeowners leverage?
The platform makes contractor quotes readable, itemized, and accountable so homeowners finally have transparent data when facing expensive decisions. It delivers language, insight, and a digital second opinion—turning a confusing document into tactical leverage for people who are often underinformed or rushed.
