Upload your bid, photos, and emails. We squint through the fine print so you don't have to — and tell you if the price is fair, what's missing, and whether you're solving the right problem.
Contractor bids are written for contractors, not homeowners. Vague line items, missing scope, low-ball traps, and one-sided clauses are the norm — not the exception.
Most people only find out when work has started and it's too late to walk away. SquintSign exists to close that gap.
"I saw a 100% difference between bids. I had no idea which one to trust — or whether any of them were actually right."
— Homeowner, r/HomeImprovement"The cheap bid missed the sheathing. We found out after they opened the wall. The change order was $18,000."
— Homeowner, r/Renovations"No two bids looked the same. I couldn't tell if they were even quoting the same job."
— Homeowner, NextdoorYour bid, contractor emails, site photos, and location. Any format works.
Our system — built on real commercial construction expertise — reviews scope, pricing, contract clauses, and contractor credentials.
What's fair, what's missing, what's a red flag, and exactly what questions to put to your contractor before you sign.
For large projects — 30 minutes with a commercial construction PM who's seen everything.
Does this bid actually solve your problem — or just the visible symptom? A quote for new siding means nothing if the moisture source isn't addressed.
What isn't quoted but will almost certainly come up once work starts? We estimate your change order exposure before you're committed.
We benchmark against real labour and material rates for your market — BC, Alberta, and Ontario by default. Not generic national averages.
Front-loaded deposits, T&M with no cap, missing lien waivers, verbal change order clauses. We flag every clause that puts you at financial risk.
BC Housing registry, SkilledTradesBC, WorkSafeBC coverage, review pattern analysis. Are they who they say they are?
Where spending a little more now saves significantly later — and where the "premium" option is just a markup with no real benefit.
All tiers include full analysis. Pick the tier that matches your project size.
SquintSign was built after watching family members get overcharged on roofing, run out of contingency money mid-project, and sign contracts they didn't understand.
The founder is a commercial construction project manager who spends every day reviewing bids, writing RFIs, managing subcontractor invoices, and catching the things contractors don't volunteer.
"Most homeowners are making $100K+ decisions based on a one-page document they can't fully read. I built SquintSign to change that."— Founder, SquintSign
