Comparing contractor bids before you list in San Francisco? The lowest price can hide the biggest gaps.
• Prep and protection: patching, sanding, masking, and floor cover should be listed.
• Materials: compare exact paint, flooring, fixtures, and anything marked as an estimate.
• Unknown repairs: if wall damage, dry rot, or leveling shows up, ask how extras are priced.
• Cleanup and final touch-ups: haul-away and photo-ready cleaning should be included.
