§1

## What drives the cost

- **Size and scope.** More work, more materials, more labor.
- **Materials and finish.** Higher-end materials cost more up front and often last longer.
- **Access.** Tight access means smaller equipment and more hours.
- **Permits and inspections.** Ask whether fees are in the quote and who applies.

§2

## Comparing quotes

Ask every business for line items on the same scope: labor, materials, equipment, permits and clean-up. Two quotes that look far apart often differ in one or two lines.

§3
