Before you compare quotes
If your quote is well above $70,000, ask what is in it that the typical job is not. Does the quote change room area, layout, systems or finishes, and which changes are included?
Measure your job with the material calculator. Then put the quotes in the matching quote worksheet to see each one's scope beside its price.
