    Paste your quote in, we'll flag the holes before the client finds them.

    For sole proprietors and small firms who want a second pair of eyes on their quote before sending. Covers scope, payment terms, exclusions, change orders and the clauses clients quietly add later.

    Sound familiar?

    • “You've been burned by a quote that left out exclusions and ended up eating the extra cost.”
    • “You're about to send a big quote and want to catch the gaps before the client does.”
    • “You're not sure your quote spells out payment terms, change orders, and what isn't included.”

    What this tool does

    Runs your quote through a checklist of the most common causes of quote disputes on construction work, missing scope, unclear payment terms, missing exclusions, no change-order clause, no retainage position, no sales-tax position. Produces a flag list.

    If you take an action based on what you read here, that action is yours. We are a guide, not an advisor, and we give this away for free.

    General guidance, not legal advice.

    What the law actually says

    • •Once a client accepts your quote, it generally becomes a binding contract, so what you leave out can cost you.
    • •There's no single statute here: your protection is a clear written scope, exclusions, payment terms, and a change-order clause. Many states also require specific terms in residential home-improvement contracts.
