Why I Built QuoteChecker.ai

The First Audit

QuoteChecker.ai began when a $158,000 remodel proposal hid a $25,000 surcharge inside vague allowances. Founder Montgomery Kuykendall pulled the receipts, mapped competing bids, and translated the findings into language every homeowner could act on.

That first write-up set the tone for every audit we publish today: document the scope, cite the proof, and hand the homeowner clear next steps before a signature goes on paper.

Our Standards

Conversations with homeowners, trades, lenders, and adjusters shaped the guardrails that power each deliverable. They are the same standards we reference across the site—from the tool chooser to Pro onboarding.

Transparency first. We unpack bundled allowances, cite industry baselines, and show our math for every claim.

Empowered homeowners. We provide scripts, follow-up prompts, and summaries that stay useful when you email, print, or bring us to the bank.

Accountable partners. Clear expectations, logged answers, and time-stamped receipts keep every stakeholder aligned.

Validation sweep

Ongoing interviews with homeowners, accessibility specialists, and trade advisors pressure-test the prompts we ship.

What it means

Every standard is a guardrail: nothing ships without a clear explanation, a documented challenge path, and an actionable next step.

Service Workflow

Every audit follows the same documented workflow you preview on our product pages. It balances AAA accessibility, disciplined data handling, and a record you can defend in a boardroom or at a kitchen table.

Upload. Secure intake for text, PDF, or imagery with clear privacy notices before we run an analysis.
Map. Line items break into materials, labor, allowances, and missing specifications.
Flag. Industry baselines, risk context, and follow-up prompts confirm scope in writing.
Deliver. Clarification drafts, negotiation support, and downloadable receipts ready for sharing.

Review the full workflow

Client Impact

QuoteChecker.ai supports ongoing conversations between homeowners, insurers, and project leads. Each response feeds the audit loop you see referenced in our case studies, helping accurate bids earn the visibility they deserve.
