Make a list of questions for a repair person
Prepare questions to check a repair quote.
ChatGPT can help write questions about work you need. A list cannot prove that a contractor is honest, skilled or charging a fair price.
Ask what work the price covers and how extra work is agreed. Check any license needed in your area. Check insurance and references with sources you trust.
Get the work, price and payment terms in writing. Compare quotes for the same work. Ask an expert to check a fault you cannot judge safely.
- Try the sample below.
- Check that each question asks for a fact you can check.
- Check the real contractor and compare full written quotes.
- Clear up key gaps before the work starts.
Write four short questions for a home repair quote: work included, full price, how extra work is agreed, and cover for faults. Do not say what caused a fault or rate the contractor.
Paste the message into ChatGPT, then fill in any blanks before you send it. ChatGPT opens in a new tab. Opening it does not send the message.
A clear reply or a list of questions is not an on-site check.
