How PriceIQ works

Three steps to knowing if your quote is fair.

01

Describe the job

Tell PriceIQ what work you need done — in plain language. No technical knowledge required. "Replace bathroom faucet" or "finish my basement" works perfectly.

02

Get your price range

PriceIQ instantly generates a realistic price range based on Canadian labour rates, material costs, and HST/GST for your province. A low estimate, a high estimate, and what's typical.

03

Negotiate with confidence

Walk into your contractor conversation knowing the numbers. If the quote is fair, move forward confidently. If it's too high, you have the information to ask the right questions.
