Designer-guided quote review

Know what your kitchen quote leaves unclear.

Before you sign or pay a deposit, get a clear review of what is included, what is missing, and what questions to ask.

Reviewed by Iris Nouri, a kitchen and millwork designer with 18+ years of experience.

Unclear scope is a common cause of change orders and cost overruns. A $29 review can catch gaps before they become expensive surprises mid-project.

Questions before uploading

Simple files are enough to begin.

What file types can I upload?

PDF, JPG, JPEG, PNG, HEIC and HEIF files are accepted. You may upload up to 10 files, with an 8 MB limit per file and 20 MB combined.

Can I use phone photos of a paper quote?

Yes. Photograph every page in good light, keep the page flat, and make sure all prices, notes and dimensions are readable.

Are drawings required?

No. The complete quote is required. Drawings are strongly recommended because they let us compare what is shown with what is included in writing.

Clear boundaries

Useful guidance without false promises.

Does this tell me whether my contractor is trustworthy?

No. We assess how clearly the submitted documents describe the kitchen scope. We do not certify or investigate contractors.

Will you tell me if the price is fair?

We identify arithmetic, allowances, options, and missing scope. A planning range is separate from the contractor’s price and is not a binding valuation.

Is this legal, engineering, or code advice?

No. Structural, permit, code, electrical, gas, plumbing, and contract questions must be confirmed with qualified local professionals.

What if I only have a photo of my quote?

That’s fine — clear phone photos work. Make sure every page, note, and total is visible and readable.

Do I need drawings to get a review?

No. A complete quote is enough to start. If you have drawings, include them because they help us catch issues such as exposed panels, appliance coordination, and countertop cutouts.

What you do get: a specific, prioritized list of what to ask your contractor — in plain English, backed by exactly where your documents are silent or unclear.
