Before you compare quotes
If your quote is well above $5,500, ask what is in it that the typical job is not. Is the scope open or enclosed, and are slab, doors and electrical work included?
Measure your job with the material calculator. Then put the quotes in your project budget worksheet to see each one's scope beside its price.
