Is This Quote Fair?
Know What Repairs and Renovations Really Cost, Where Contractors Hide Markup, How to Spot Overcharging and Scams, and How to Push Back Across Every TradeBy Imad Muratspahic
Length2h 52m
About this audiobook
One homeowner was quoted $26,000 for a single front door and asked a question that drew thousands of replies: is that crazy? Another faced kitchen quotes of $80,000, $90,000 and $110,000. Someone's grandmother handed over $25,000 for gutters. A water heater that should have been a routine swap came back at thousands of dollars. If you are holding a quote and have no idea whether it is fair, high, or a flat-out ripoff, you are not overreacting, and you are not alone. Is This Quote Fair? is a cross-trade field guide to judging the price of any home job, from a leaking water heater to a full kitchen. It is not a DIY manual and not a generic how-to-hire-a-contractor book. It teaches the one skill those books skip: how to read a quote, see what it is really charging for, and know when the number is honest. Whether you are facing an emergency repair, planning a renovation, or helping an aging parent fend off a door-knocker, this book lets you sit down with any quote, from any trade, and know what it says, what it hides, and what to ask next.
