Going Rate: What Your Neighbors Were Actually Quoted

Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A quote-checking tool that reads home-improvement bids, compares them with verified local prices, and surfaces contractor permit and license records.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-08 issue.

Field notes

The site organizes comparisons around equipment and system specifications rather than broad contractor categories, including named combinations such as Carrier 59TP6 + 24ACC636 and Trane S9V2 + XR16. Its Cleveland HVAC view separates 34 verified quotes from 17 jobs for one 3-ton furnace-and-AC category, while a nationwide table supplies P25, median, and P75 figures. The project also pairs crowd-sourced bids with Cleveland permit records and asks users to report the signed price.
