Why Two Quotes for the Same House Can Look So Different
It is one of the most common frustrations homeowners run into: two companies look at the same house and come back with wildly different numbers. Here is what actually causes that gap.
Why Quotes Vary So Much
A $2,400 quote and a $400 quote for what looks like the same job usually are not actually the same job. The gap almost always comes down to scope, method, equipment, and what is or is not included, not one company simply being greedy and the other being a bargain.
What Actually Causes the Gap
Different Scope
One quote may include the roof, gutters, and driveway while another only covers the house exterior.
Different Method
A quote based on pressure alone is often cheaper, but riskier, than a proper soft wash with chemical and dwell time.
Insurance & Licensing
Uninsured operators can quote lower because they are not carrying the cost of proper coverage.
Add-On Fees
Some low quotes grow once travel fees, chemical fees, or minimum charges get added after the fact.
Questions That Reveal the Real Difference
- Does this quote include the roof, gutters, and driveway, or just one surface?
- Are you using a soft wash method on my roof and siding, or pressure only?
- Are you licensed and insured, and can you show proof?
- Is this price final, or could fees be added once you arrive?
