About Is This Guy Screwing Me?
Is This Guy Screwing Me? is a consumer tool that analyzes service estimates — from contractors, plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs, roofers, mechanics, movers, landscapers, and painters — and tells you in plain English whether the price is fair. Upload a quote, and within about a minute you get a verdict (fair, slightly high, overpriced, or ripoff), a fair market price range for your area, a line-by-line breakdown of inflated charges, red flags to watch for, and the exact questions to ask your provider to push back.
It's built for homeowners, renters, and anyone who's ever stared at an estimate and wondered if they're being taken advantage of. You don't need to know construction, plumbing, or auto repair — you just need to know what to ask, and we give you those words.
The platform is built by a small team that got tired of watching friends and family overpay for routine work. We're not affiliated with any contractor or service provider. We make money only when you choose to run an analysis — no subscriptions, no ads, no selling your data. Our incentive is simple: give you an honest read so you can make a confident decision.
What we do
Audit any service estimate against fair US market pricing in under a minute.
Who it's for
Anyone hiring a trade or service pro and unsure if the quote is honest.
Who builds it
An independent team with no ties to any contractor, shop, or service provider.
We don't sell your data, run ads, or take a cut from any provider. The only thing we sell is the analysis itself.
