Common questions

Are these exact prices?

No — they're 2026 ranges to help you budget and negotiate. Always confirm with a licensed contractor's quote for the specific home.

Who pays for repairs found before closing?

It's negotiable. A quote for a flagged issue is your leverage to lower the price or have the seller fix it as a condition.
