Frequently asked questions
What if one Knoxville quote is way lower than the others?+
Usually it's missing scope. The most common gaps are: subfloor repair excluded, moisture barriers excluded, transition strips excluded, permits excluded, lower-grade flooring type, or thinner waterproofing on tile. Ask the lower bidder to add the missing items as line-items so you can compare apples to apples. If the price stays much lower after that, ask exactly why, and verify the Tennessee state license and references before signing.
