Not sure what to look for? Check it yourself.
Our 12-point checklist shows what a solid bid should spell out, so you know the right questions to ask before you sign.
Get the free checklist →You have bids. We read them.
Send one bid or several. We check the price against what the work actually costs, flag missing scope and red flags, and tell you what to do next.
Save at least $99, or your money back. Lower price, a missing item added, or a change order avoided — if it doesn't add up to more than you paid, you get a full refund.
Best for jobs over $5,000

You have the job. We handle the bidding.
We define the scope, source licensed and insured contractors, run the bid process, and deliver a full review once bids are in. Sewer, roof, and HVAC.
Get in touch →We've been real estate investors for over 20 years — buying and selling rentals and flips, managing renovations, and dealing with contractors across more than $20 million in volume. That means we've reviewed hundreds of bids, caught vague scope, pushed back on padded numbers, and occasionally paid the price when we didn't catch something in time.
SecondEye is what we wish we'd had at the start: an experienced set of eyes on the bid before you sign anything.
— Erik, SecondEye
Fixed for about $3,400 with an approach none of the six bids offered.
The cracked part was under a 20-year warranty. A second company quoted about $1,200.
The cheapest was also the only one that named the shingle grade.

Upload a PDF, screenshot, or phone photo. One bid or several bids on the same job. We handle both.
We go through every line item: is the scope right, is the price fair, what's missing, and what's vague enough to turn into a change order later.
A fair-price range, scope flags, red flags, and specific questions to take back to your contractor. In your inbox within 24 hours.
Where the bid lands against what the work really costs.
What's left out that shows up later as a change order.
Vague labor, missing permits, risky payment terms.
Specific things to send back before you sign.
Multiple bids lined up on the same scope.
Laying bids side by side only tells you something if they cover the same scope — and they almost never do. One quotes a rubber membrane, another modified bitumen. One itemizes, one is a lump sum. Reading the bottom lines against each other just gives you false confidence.
And if all three leave out the permit, comparing them to each other will never show it — they're wrong the same way. SecondEye normalizes them to the same scope, measures them against real invoices, and hands you the exact question to take back to each contractor.
We don't sell leads to contractors, take referral fees, or steer you toward anyone. The review is for you.
Over 20 years of real projects, real invoices, and real contractor bids — not internet cost estimates or an AI guess.
You don't need to understand the trades to use this. You just need to send the bids.
“Misc. labor” with no breakdown, crew size, task list, or duration.
Permits, disposal, flashing, valves, shutoffs, subfloor repair, trim, haul-off, reconnects.
Bids that look low because key work is excluded or pushed into allowances.
When Bid A includes a permit and Bid B does not, you know exactly what to push on.
