Independent remodeling advisory · Serving homeowners nationwide
Know what you're buying before you build.
Remodeling your home can be one of the biggest financial decisions you'll make. But how do you know whether a contractor's estimate is complete? How do you compare three proposals when they all look different? And how do you know what questions to ask before signing?
We don't sell remodeling. We help you understand it.
No contractor commissions. Ever. That's the whole point.
“I have three estimates. They're all different. I don't know what I'm actually comparing.”
— Every homeowner, at some point
We'll help you understand the differences.
That's where Remodel Advocate comes in. We work exclusively for the homeowner, helping you understand your project, define the scope, compare contractor estimates, and make an informed decision before you commit.

Ask yourself:
Do I understand exactly what is included?
Do I know what's excluded?
Are the estimates actually comparing the same project?
Do I understand the allowances?
Do I know how change orders will be handled?
Have I asked the contractor the right questions?
If you can't confidently answer those questions… talk to an advocate.
