What we look into
The written scope.
The questions it leaves open.
A custom comparison of the documents you provide, with clear references to the details behind each finding.
What’s in the bid
Scope, materials, warranties, exclusions, payment terms, and costs that could change after you sign.
What changes the total
Allowances, quantities, optional items and unit rates. Any calculated scenario states its assumptions and points to the written bid.
Materials and products
The product names and components each bidder specifies, with differences and missing details called out.
Warranty wording
What the supplied warranty terms say about coverage and exclusions, plus questions about terms that were not supplied.
Payment and timing
Deposits, payment milestones, scheduling language and change-order terms stated in the documents.
Questions to resolve
A short list of specific questions to ask each bidder before you choose or sign. Missing information stays marked as unknown.
Evidence you can check
Your report separates quoted terms, calculations and unanswered questions. Findings point to the supplied documents. Missing details are questions to resolve, not automatic marks against a contractor.
This pilot compares documents. It does not inspect the roof, prescribe repairs, rank contractors or investigate their personal backgrounds. You decide what to ask and which offer meets your needs.
How it works
Start with what you know.
We’ll take it from there.
- 01
Tell us about your project.
Start with a short email inquiry about your city, roof type, bid count and questions. Do not send PDFs or attachments. Document submissions are not open.
- 02
Confirm the order.
If paid orders open later, we will explain the document process, agree on a delivery date and show the $97 total before sending an order-specific checkout.
- 03
Follow along. Get clarity.
For an accepted future order, the planned service includes progress updates and a complete report with scope differences, source references, and questions to ask.
For property managers and rental investors
A consistent way to question each roofing bid.
If you compare bids across Indiana properties, the same source-linked review can help you spot scope differences, uncertain costs and missing terms without turning the report into a contractor ranking.
One project at a time
The planned $97 comparison covers two to four bids for one residential asphalt-roof project.
Repeat need is research
Tell us approximately how many eligible projects you recently compared and when the next may occur. Self-reported frequency is not a verified purchase or contract.
No recurring offer yet
We are testing whether professional buyers have enough repeat need to justify an ongoing service. There is no subscription, reservation, order or document intake today.

Quick answers. A thorough look.
Less waiting.
No wondering where things stand.
Comparisons are not open yet. We’re testing delivery capacity before accepting orders. The delivery window will be shown before payment when the service opens.
Why it can take longer
For future accepted orders, more bids mean more scope and terms to compare. Missing pages or conflicting terms can require clarification before a delivery date is agreed.
Updates as the work moves forward
If paid orders open, the intended process includes an acceptance confirmation, updates as review stages are completed, and an email when the report is ready.
The stages you can expect
- Submission received
- Bids reviewed
- Differences checked
- Report prepared
- Report delivered
Updates reflect completed work. When information can’t be confirmed, your report will say so.
