Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AI know local prices?

We calibrate our underlying rate tables against local supplier data and regional labor trends in Idaho and Utah. While no AI is perfect, our rates are specifically tuned for the trades and markets we serve.

What if the estimate is wrong?

TextABid is a powerful starting point, not a final contract. You can always reply ADJUST [details] if a price feels off, or use your private edit link to override the final quote before sending it to a client.

Do you handle commercial work?

Currently, TextABid is optimized for residential projects (driveways, siding replacements, residential wiring). Commercial logic involves different permit and insurance structures that we are still refining.

Are permit fees included?

Our estimates focus on materials and labor. Since permit fees vary significantly by city and county, we recommend adding them as a separate line item in your final proposal.
