What a quote check looks like
An example, made up to show the layout. Yours is written from your quote.
Example
This price is inside the typical range
Your quote works out to $84 per square foot for the countertop work ($3,780 over 45 sq ft). That sits in the middle of the typical range for engineered quartz, which is $50 to $120 per square foot installed.
- 60% deposit before templating. Half or less is normal. Ask to pay the balance after installation.
- Removing the old countertops: not mentioned. Ask who does it and what it costs.
- Plumbing reconnect: not mentioned. Many shops do not reconnect the sink. Ask before install day.
Questions
- Who is checking my quote?
- SlabWise makes quoting software for countertop shops, so we see how quotes are built. The check is produced by our software reading your quote line by line. No shop pays to be reviewed and we do not sell countertops.
- How do you know what a fair price is?
- We compare your price per square foot with broad US installed price ranges for your material, the same ranges our free cost calculator uses. They are not a local price survey, and the check says so. Where the price sits is one part. What the quote leaves out is usually where the money goes.
- What if you cannot read my quote?
- You can send a clearer copy from your quote check page and we run it again at no charge.
- What if it is not useful?
- Email us within 30 days and we refund the $39.
- Do you share my quote with shops?
- No. Your quote is used to produce your check and nothing else.
