Frequently asked questions

What we are asked most often.

Is the figure reliable?

Enough to decide on a budget. Each item is calculated at local rates, from your own house. Only a visit gives a firm price.

Do I have to measure anything?

Not with a tape. From your address, we measure your roof and your lot on the aerial image; for the interior, a few questions are enough.

Who will call me?

No one, until you have sent your file. Then, at most 3 RBQ-licensed contractors.

Is it really free?

Yes, for you. It is the contractors who pay to open the projects you send them.

Two minutes, and you know.

A detailed estimate for your house. Free, no commitment.
