How the free quote review works
Analyse or compare painting quotes online in three steps
Use the tool before accepting a quotation or paying a deposit. It reviews what is documented in the supplied files and makes differences easier to understand without choosing a contractor for you.
Upload the documents
Add PDF, JPEG, PNG or WebP files. The contractor’s accompanying email is optional.
Review the report
Read the documented strengths, omissions, comparison points and tailored clarification questions.
Scope and preparation
Check included surfaces and written allowances for cleaning, filling, sanding, gap sealing, priming and repairs.
Coating specifications
Review primers, finish coats, sheen levels and whether products are clearly identified for each surface.
Exclusions and evidence
Review exclusions, GST, timing, payments and warranties, then independently verify insurance and business information.
Comparing a Colourway estimate?
A Colourway online estimate is an initial pricing guide, not a final quotation. Complete a scope review and obtain the detailed final quotation before comparing it with another contractor’s final quote.
