MPB Construction Ltd Image What is the difference between an estimate and a quote?
An estimate is just that, an estimation of the cost and time necessary to do the renovation. An estimate is not a firm cost, 99% of the time you will pay more than the estimate. Ensure the contractor does not work with “extras” too often; this is where they make their money after low-balling the quote to get the job. Estimates will generally explain the work involved. A quote is very detailed and will include an exhaustive list of the work involved. The costs should be firm without extras unless you decide to request something additional to be done.
