The lowest number is hard to interpret when important work is silent. Use this checker to identify categories that are included, excluded, or simply not addressed.

Use this as an organizational check before signing. Confirm unclear items with the contractor in writing and verify legal, licensing, insurance, permit, and contract requirements that apply where you live.

Silence is different from an exclusion

A bid that explicitly excludes painting is easier to compare than a bid that never mentions painting. When a category is silent, ask whether it is included, excluded, owner-supplied, or expected to be priced later.

Normalize scope before price

Comparing totals before the scope is aligned can reward the least complete proposal. Resolve the largest scope differences first, then revisit the price spread.

After the hiring decision

CheckMyBids is intentionally pre-hire. Once you award the work, carry the accepted scope, contract amount, allowances, and payment milestones into CheckMyRemodel so the live project stays anchored to what you actually agreed to.
