Questions homeowners ask
Short answers. If yours isn’t here, call or text (908) 505-8204.
Is it really free?
Yes. Homeowners never pay. The pros hold one seat per trade per ZIP code. The first pro in gets it free, and only pays if another company wants that seat someday. None of that touches you, and it 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.
What kinds of quotes 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.
How do you know what’s fair?
We check your quote against what the same job goes for in your area and what it should include. Our proprietary tool analyzes every quote line by line and asks you the questions a good contractor would.
How long does it take?
Not long. Our proprietary tool analyzes every quote as it comes in, and your analysis lands in your inbox, usually within one business day.
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.
Do you give legal advice?
No. We look at price, scope, missing items and payment terms. For contract language, talk to a lawyer.
What happens to my file?
Stored encrypted, used for your analysis, deleted when you ask. Name and address are stripped before anything is kept to compare future quotes against. We never sell or trade your information. Delete my quote does it in two clicks.
Can I upload more than one quote for the same job?
Yes, please do. Comparing two or three is where the analysis gets really useful.
