Scope, license, and pricing
Make sure every quote includes the same line items and that the contractor and plumber are licensed.
- Is the contractor's Maryland Home Improvement Commission (MHIC) license number current?
- Is subfloor repair included if needed, or a change order?
- Are plumbing or valve relocations included, and which Maryland-licensed plumber will pull the permit?
- Is the Wicomico / Somerset County permit cost included?
- Is haul-away and disposal included?
- What's NOT included that often becomes a change order later?
Warranty and workmanship
Manufacturer and labor warranties are different. Both matter.
- How long is the labor warranty, and is it transferable?
- What's covered under the materials warranty separately?
- If something fails in year 3, who do I call?
