📊 Contractor Bid Comparison

Tips for Choosing the Right Contractor

• Don't automatically choose the lowest bid. Extremely low bids may indicate cut corners, lack of insurance, or hidden costs.
• Verify credentials. Check licenses, insurance, and references. Sasbase vets all contractors, but additional verification never hurts.
• Compare apples to apples. Ensure all bids include the same scope of work, materials, and timeline.
• Read the fine print. Understand payment schedules, change order policies, and warranty terms.
• Check recent reviews. A high rating from 100+ reviews is more reliable than 5 stars from 3 reviews.
• Communication matters. Choose a contractor who responds promptly and answers questions clearly.
• Trust your instincts. If something feels off during the bidding process, it's okay to pass.
• Get it in writing. All agreements, warranties, and scope changes should be documented.
