Contractor Quote Comparator

Why it helps

Normalizes 2 to 5 contractor quotes for a home project (roofing, HVAC, remodel, landscaping, plumbing, solar) into an apples-to-apples comparison, exposes missing scope and allowances, flags red-flag terms, and writes the questions to ask each contractor. Use when a homeowner uploads or pastes multiple quotes or estimates and wants to know which is actually the best deal.

What you get

• Complete skill instructions (md)
• Setup and optional integration guidance (md)

How to use it

Open SKILL.md. For a normal chat, paste the instructions below the YAML frontmatter, then give the requested inputs. For a Custom GPT (where available) or Gemini Gem, paste everything below the frontmatter into Instructions and use the description line as the listing summary. Native skill upload depends on your host. Agent Extensions are optional connectors or scheduled workflows; the core skill works without them, and downloading does not enable integrations or schedules.

Have ready

• two or more contractor quotes
• project scope
• budget and location

Works as written guidance in ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. Native installation, file exports, browsing, and connectors depend on your account and host. Optional Agent Extensions are not required or automatically enabled.
