FAQ

What is the difference between an estimate and a bid?

An estimate is an approximate cost calculation that may change. A bid is a formal offer to complete work at a specific price. Bids are typically binding once accepted, while estimates can be revised. Most contractors start with an estimate and convert it to a formal bid proposal.

How do I make my bid stand out?

Stand out by: (1) presenting a professional, well-formatted proposal, (2) including a detailed scope of work so the client knows exactly what they're getting, (3) providing a realistic timeline, (4) showing your insurance and license information, and (5) including references or past project photos.
