#2 Book a pro

Ask a pro (paid async diagnosis)

A pro should confirm scope in writing before any extra work; if a dispute is ongoing, a new pro can give a second opinion.

See pros and book

Prices are set by each independent pro and shown before you pay.

#3 Do it yourself

Check the bill against what was agreed

  1. Find the written quote or app message with the price and scope.
  2. List every line on the new bill next to the original scope.
  3. Ask the pro in writing to explain each extra and why it was not flagged first.
  4. Pay only what you agreed to until extras are explained in writing.

Safety: Do not hand over cash for unexplained extras while the pro is pressuring you.

Stop and call a pro if: The pro refuses to explain, stops work, or holds your property.
