Something doesn't look right? Get a diagnosis before it becomes a bigger issue.

Contractor Selection Help

Is this quote fair?

Hiring a contractor is one of the biggest financial decisions a homeowner makes — and most people go in blind. A TradeIQ expert in that specific trade reviews your bids, flags red flags, and tells you exactly what questions to ask before you sign.

Bid and quote review

Upload your quotes and get an honest assessment of pricing, scope, and what's missing.

Red flag identification

Know the warning signs of unlicensed work, lowball bids, and scope gaps before it's too late.

What contractors and homeowners say

Tile & Bathroom

I was about to rip out a shower pan that turned out to be perfectly fine. The consultant walked me through the real issue in 20 minutes and saved me three grand.

Dana Kowalski

Roofing

4.6

First year running my own crew. Having a retired roofer review my bids before I send them out has been a game-changer.

TA

Tony Abernathy

HVAC

The video call option is worth every dollar. I had a tech walk me through a ductwork redesign in real time while I was standing in the attic.
