When a contractor quotes you $14,000, they know exactly where that number sits — against every other job they've priced this month and every competitor in town. You know nothing. The "cost guides" you'll find online are made-up ranges written to rank on Google, and the comparison sites that promise quotes sell your phone number to the highest bidders before you finish typing it.
Quotating levels that. It works the way salary transparency finally cracked pay: people share what they were actually quoted, and in return they see what everyone else was quoted. Every quote shared makes the next person's answer sharper.
Quotating is independent — not owned by, funded by, or affiliated with any contractor network, lead-generation company, or equipment manufacturer. It started with a simple observation: every day, homeowners post their quotes on forums asking strangers "is this fair?" — because there was nowhere better to ask. Now there is.
