VERDICT

The photos made precise measuring tricky, so this range is extra conservative.

The kitchen-table moment

It's 9pm. The quote is on the table. It's a big number, and every person you could ask has a stake in the answer — the contractor wrote it, your brother-in-law guesses, and the internet says everything from half to double. That's the moment this was built for.

Reading the quote alone

Paperwork audits paperwork. A document can't tell you if the scope itself is inflated — billed for 30 squares on a 22-square roof.

Scores pretend precision. "74/100" sounds like math. It's an opinion wearing a lab coat.

Generic benchmarks. National averages meet your very local roof.

Reading the quote and the roof

Photos measure reality. The engine counts the squares, reads the pitch, sees the stories — then prices that, at regional rates.

Verdicts are arithmetic. A range, your quote beside it, the largest gap named. No scores, no vibes.

Honest about limits. What photos can't show, we say so — and the answer always ends the same way: get 2–3 bids.

What this is — and isn't

Quotes legitimately vary with materials, warranty, crew quality, and season. TrueScope never says "scam" — it shows the typical range and lets the numbers speak. It's an informational second opinion, not an appraisal or professional advice. And whatever the verdict says, the smartest move in home services never changes: get 2–3 competing bids.
