Comparing quotes fairly
- Fix the allowances yourself - tile per square foot, vanity, faucet, toilet, glass - and give every contractor the same numbers.
- Ask each one to state on the quote whether the slab is being cut, and for what.
- Ask what is excluded. On slab jobs the common exclusions are concrete patching finish, floor levelling and any asbestos found in old mastic.
- Ask for the licence number and check it on the DBPR portal before you sign anything.
- Ask about the exhaust fan specification. In this climate a contractor who has not thought about it has not thought about the whole job.
