Read it before you sign it.
You have an estimate in front of you and no way to tell whether the number is fair, what is missing from it, or what the fine print costs later. Paste it in. Reno reads it against what that work actually costs and gives you back the questions to ask — in about a minute.
- ✓Your own contractor's estimate, quote or contract
- ✓Read in about a minute, kept in your account
- ✓No obligation to hire anyone through us
An audit is an informed second opinion on price and scope, produced from your document and our remodeling cost data. It is not legal advice, and it does not replace a lawyer where one is needed.
What gets read
Every audit comes back with a risk level, what the price looks like against the scope described, the findings ranked by how much they can cost you, what is missing from the scope, and the questions to put to the contractor.
The price against the work
Whether the total fits the job being described, and the going rate for that work in your area.
What is not in it
Demo, haul-away, permits, inspections, patching, paint. The lines that turn into change orders once the wall is open.
The payment schedule
How much is asked for up front, what each payment is tied to, and whether anything is due before work starts.
Change orders and allowances
The clauses that decide who pays when the tile costs more or the subfloor is rotten.
Who you are signing with
Licence, insurance and the business name on the paper against the one doing the work.
The dates
Start, duration, and what happens if it runs long — including whether the contract says anything at all.
And after the audit
The audit lands in an account, and the account is the rest of it. Price the job yourself before you talk to anyone, put the project in front of contractors near you, compare what comes back against the same list of work, and pay by stage — each one released when you say the work is done.
Questions
How long does it take?
About a minute. The audit runs as soon as you open the link we email you, and it stays in your account.
Why do I have to create an account?
The audit is yours: it names prices and gaps in a document you were given, so it goes to your account rather than into an email anyone could forward. The link we send is the account — there is no password to make up, and nothing to pay.
Do I have to be renovating through Reno?
No. Send the estimate you already have, from whoever gave it to you. If you do want more prices afterwards, your project is already here.
Is this legal advice?
No, and the report says so on it. It is a second pair of eyes on the numbers, the scope and the payment terms — the things a homeowner has no way to check alone.
What do you do with my document?
We read it and keep it in your account. We do not send it to contractors and we do not put your name in front of anyone.
