Understanding How Handyman Connection Provides Quotes

Understanding How Handyman Connection Provides Quotes

The first thing most people do when they decide to renovate or remodel their home is contact various contractors to get quotes on how much the project will cost. You want to find someone who will complete the job thoroughly for the best price. Although you may think that you can receive an accurate quote over the phone, this is not usually the case. Most contractors can provide you with an estimate over the phone, but if you want an accurate quote on how much the project will cost, the contractor will need to visit your home to gain a thorough understanding of how extensive the project is and what all it will entail. 

What Is an Estimate?

Experienced contractors have usually worked with many types of projects, so they have a good understanding of the ballpark price of different renovations. If you call a contractor looking for an estimate on remodelling your kitchen, a contractor can probably use his or her past experience to give you a ballpark figure. However, because the contractor has not seen your home in person, he or she cannot provide you with a specific quote so you can determine if this price is within your budget.

What Is a Quote?

A quote is a more specific version of an estimate. An estimate typically includes the cost of labour for the average amount of time UB the type of project you need. A quote is more accurate because it takes into account all of the materials you need to complete the project. A contractor will need to visit your home to know exactly which materials will be needed. He or she will price the materials and add the calls to the base rate for labour be bored giving you an accurate quote.
