Three quotes for the same driveway can be hundreds of dollars apart. Here is what is really behind the difference.
You asked three companies to quote the same job and got three very different numbers. That is normal, and it usually comes down to a few things you can check.
What is actually included
One quote may include pre-treating stains, edging and a final rinse. Another may be the surface only. Ask each company for a written list of what is and is not included, then compare line by line.
Insurance and licensing
Properly insured companies carry real costs that uninsured operators skip. A much lower quote can mean you are the one taking on the risk if something goes wrong on your property.
Equipment and method
Soft washing a roof, sealing pavers or cleaning a dryer vent takes the right equipment. Ask how the job will be done, not just what it costs.
What happens if it is not right
A quote with no follow-up promise is cheaper to write. Ask what happens if you are not happy after the visit, and how long you have to say so.
A simple way to compare
- Get every quote in writing
- Compare what is included, not just the total
- Confirm insurance before anyone arrives
- Ask about a guarantee and how to use it
