How RenoChecker Works
Contractor pricing isn't random. Wages, overhead, and market rates follow predictable patterns. Here's how we use that data to audit your quote in 3 minutes.
From quote to informed conversation in 3 steps
Add your quote — your way
Paste, upload a PDF, or enter line items manually. RenoChecker reads contractor language and matches each item automatically.
Benchmarked against government wage data
Every item is matched to BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) data for your metro area — not a national average.
Get flags and word-for-word scripts
RED, YELLOW, GREEN, or BLUE flag on every line item. Your report includes the exact questions to ask your contractor.
Where the numbers come from
We apply the 2.5× multiplier and typical labor/materials split for each trade to produce the market range on your report. The result: a sourced benchmark for your city — not a guess.
What each flag means
Well above market — review this item before signing.
Above median — worth asking about.
Within fair market range for your city.
Unusually low — confirm what's included to avoid change orders.
