If you are searching for a sample renovation quote, you probably have one in hand and want to sanity-check it. Here is the anatomy of a professional quote — treat anything less with caution.
What must a professional quote contain?
A proper quote never says 'full renovation: X' in one line. Work is itemised: each line carries the task, quantity (m², pcs), unit price and amount, with subtotal, VAT and grand total shown separately.
- •Line-by-line task list (demolition, plumbing, plaster, paint, floors…)
- •Quantities and unit prices — not one lump line
- •Brand/quality tier (which paint, which tile class)
- •Duration and delivery date
- •Payment plan (e.g. 30% start, staged milestones)
- •Validity window (7-14 days) and warranty terms
Avoid: 4 signs of a bad quote
Verbal prices, one-line round numbers, 'materials TBD' and quotes without validity or warranty all end the same way: the price grows mid-job. An unwritten, unfixed price is not a price.

- Not with us — the visit and the written quote are completely free.
- How do I compare quotes?
- Compare lines, not totals: are the quantities, material tiers and inclusions the same? The cheapest quote is usually the most incomplete one.
- Do I also need a contract?
- Yes — for real jobs the quote should become a written contract covering scope, payments and warranty. We work with a written contract on every job.
