Contractor Quote Comparison Worksheet

Compare up to three contractor quotes side by side: total price, what is included and excluded, warranties, payment schedule and license details.

Fill in what each written quote says. Leave a box empty if the quote does not mention it; that is usually the first thing to ask about. Your entries stay in this browser only.

What to compare

How to use the comparison

  • Compare the same scope. A lower price often means something is left out. Line up removal, permits, materials and cleanup before comparing totals.
  • Read the exclusions. Items such as rot repair, electrical updates or haul-away are often listed as exclusions or allowances.
  • Look at the payment schedule. Be cautious of large deposits. Some states limit how much a contractor can ask for up front.
  • Check the license and insurance yourself. Use your state’s contractor license lookup and ask for a certificate of insurance.
  • Get it in writing. The scope, price, schedule, warranty and change-order process should all be in the contract.
