Scope and preparation
Check every included surface and the written allowance for cleaning, filling, sanding, gap sealing, priming and repairs.
Free quotation analysis and comparison
Upload one contractor’s final quotation for a detailed analysis, or add a second final quotation for a side-by-side comparison. The accompanying email is optional. We identify written strengths and gaps, check available business evidence, and draft a tailored clarification email for each contractor supplied.
Before choosing a painter
A single painting quote can be analysed for completeness before you seek alternatives. If you have two final quotes, the same checks can then place them on a fair side-by-side basis instead of comparing headline totals alone.
Check every included surface and the written allowance for cleaning, filling, sanding, gap sealing, priming and repairs.
Check primers, finish coats, sheen levels and whether the specified products suit each ceiling, wall, trim, metal or exterior surface.
Review exclusions, GST, timing, payments and warranty, then independently verify reviews, insurance and credible completed work.
A Colourway online estimate is only a planning estimate and is not analysed as a final quotation. Ask us to review the scope first; once a final Colourway quotation has been issued, it can be analysed alone or compared with another contractor’s final quote.
