No lead selling
Your contact information is not the product.
Why independent matters
Many “compare quotes” sites are free because they make money by routing homeowners to contractors or selling contact information. GougeAlert does the opposite: you pay for the analysis, keep control of your quote, and decide what happens next.
How the Project Pass works
Contractor quotes change. Scope gets revised. A second bidder may send a different format entirely. The Project Pass is built for that real-world mess.
Step 1
PDF, image, or entered line items for one home project.
Step 2
Benchmark range, scope gaps, review notes, and questions to ask.
Step 3
Compare revised or competing quotes for the same project window.
What the report checks
The report is not a generic score. It tells you which parts look fair, which parts need explanation, and what to ask before you sign.
Price context
Compares the submitted quote against an expected range for the project type, scope, and region.
Example: is $18,450 reasonable for this roof in your market, or is it above range?
Line-item risk
Flags vague, above benchmark, duplicated, missing, or unusually high charges that deserve clarification.
Example: “misc. labor,” duplicate disposal fees, or material markups that need an explanation.
Scope completeness
Checks whether labor, materials, disposal, permits, assumptions, and exclusions are clear enough to rely on.
Example: does the quote say what is included — and what becomes a change order later?
