Free for New Jersey homeowners
Got a home project? We cut through the confusion to save you time, money, and headaches.
No provider includes the same stuff. Upload 1 or more quotes, any format, and see the differences before you sign, apples-to-apples.
What happens to my information after I upload?
We review price and scope, and sanitize out any personal information like your name, address and company name before anything is stored for price comparisons. We do not offer legal advice and never sell your information. Privacy
By sending, you agree we can email your comparison to the address you give.
Quote B looks cheapest, but it skips the permit and haul-away.
The quotes worth a second look
Any quote works. These are the big ones, where a second look can save you the most.
- Roof replacementTear-off or overlay, and what the price leaves out.
- Heating and AC replacementThe right size, the real efficiency, and the rebates you’re owed.
- Basement waterproofingWhat your basement actually needs, not the scariest fix.
- Siding and windowsWhether that “today only” price is really a deal.
- Patio and paversThe base and drainage work you’ll never see but always pay for.
- PoolThe fence, patio and electrical that belong in the price.
- Generator or electrical panelThe right size, the permit, and the gas line.
- DeckMaterials, footings and permits, line by line.
- FenceGates, old fence removal and the property line.
- Sewer line or water heaterA fair price, even when you need it fixed fast.
Here’s what happens after you send it
You send us your quotes.
A PDF, a photo of a handwritten one, or just what they told you in the driveway.
We put them on the same rows.
Our proprietary tool analyzes every quote line by line: price, equipment, permit, warranty, deposit. Then it shows what each one leaves out.
You get the comparison by email.
Share it with your spouse, pick a company, or ask the questions first. Nobody calls you.
You’ll see the real difference, not just the bottom line.
What’s in your comparison
- Every quote on the same rows, side by side
- What each quote leaves out, named plainly
- What each would cost for the same work (a labeled estimate)
- Red flags, like a big deposit or a verbal-only price
- 3 questions to ask each company
- A link you can share, with no personal info on it
We look at price and scope. We don’t give legal advice or interpret contract terms. For that, talk to a lawyer.
One email, and you pick a company knowing exactly what you’re paying for.
Your quote is yours. We treat it that way.
- We never sell or trade your information. Not to contractors, not to anyone.
- Your quote goes to one place: our analysis. The only time it goes anywhere else is if you tell us you want a second quote. Then it goes to one AhTown pro, the one for your trade in or near your ZIP code. That’s it.
- Files are stored encrypted and deleted on request. Email us at john@getahtown.com and it’s gone.
- We strip your name and address before anything goes into our price database. The database only knows a $9,400 patio was quoted in 07748.
If we ever changed that, this page would say so first.
Want a second quote? Your call.
Every AhTown pro is the one pro for their trade in their ZIP code. To stay on AhTown they have to keep a 4.5-star review average. If you want one, you tap one button and that pro gets your quote. Nobody else does. If you say no, nothing happens. You can decide when you upload or after you read your analysis.
Either way, it’s your call.
Who’s behind this
I’m John, from Monmouth County. I started AhTown because every time I got a quote for my own house I had no idea if it was fair, and I know a lot of contractors who hate losing jobs to a competitor who quoted sloppy. This tool helps both.
Call or text me: (908) 505-8204.
Quick questions
Is it really free?
Yes. Homeowners never pay. AhTown pros pay to hold their ZIP code seat, and that only matters if you ask for a second quote.
Will a contractor call me?
Not unless you ask. Your quote goes nowhere unless you say “yes, I want a second quote.” Then exactly one pro, the AhTown pro for that trade near your ZIP, reaches out.
Do I have to upload the quote?
No. Tell us the price and what it covers, and we’ll check it. A photo or PDF makes the read sharper, and you can add one anytime.
What if my quote is from a company already on AhTown?
You still get the same honest analysis. We don’t go easier on our own pros. If you ask for a second quote in that case, we’ll tell you the pro in your ZIP is the company that quoted you, and leave it there.
What kinds of jobs can I upload?
Any home service job in New Jersey: pools, patios, landscaping, fences, decks, roofing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, painting, driveway sealing, pest control. If it’s something else, pick Other and we’ll tell you if we can help.
Still wondering about something? Call or text, and you’ll get a person.
