Know what that contractor bid really says.

One membership, any home service — roofing, HVAC, solar, plumbing, remodels.
How Penny works
Send Penny the bid
Upload the contractor's proposal as a PDF or a photo, and tell Penny the kind of work and your area.
Penny reads every line
Scope, allowances, exclusions, payment terms — all of it, pulled apart and put into everyday words.
Go in prepared
You get the variables to pin down, what the job usually costs nearby, and the questions to ask.
Every Penny breakdown contains
The whole bid in plain English
What the proposal is actually selling you, what the total covers, and what it quietly leaves out.
Every line explained
Each priced item translated out of trade language, with what it means for your house.
The variables
The assumptions, allowances and exclusions that decide what you really pay in the end.
What it costs near you
A realistic local price range for this exact scope, compared with what you were quoted.
What looks off
Vague scope, missing permits or disposal, no labour warranty, pressure to sign today.
What to ask before signing
The exact questions to put to this contractor, written the way you'd actually say them.
One membership. Peace of mind on every big job.
A bad bid is expensive for years. Penny costs less than an hour of a contractor's time and tells you what you're agreeing to before you agree to it.
