A good estimate is based on seeing what you own. Comparing several helps you spot a quote that's too good to be true.
Types of estimates
- Binding: the price is set for the items and services listed
- Non-binding: an approximate price; the final cost depends on actual weight and services
- Binding not-to-exceed: you pay the lower of the estimate or the actual cost
Get it right
- Get at least three estimates
- Show the estimator everything, including the garage and attic
- Get every estimate in writing
- Be wary of quotes far below the others
