How We Work
Transparency is our trust signal. Here's exactly what happens when you use EstimateHawk — and what we promise never to do.
How We Compare Estimates
Upload
Drop your PDF or Excel file. We accept the estimate formats contractors actually use.
AI Extraction
Our AI reads every line item, quantity, unit cost, and category — the same way an experienced estimator would, but in seconds.
Comparison
Side-by-side analysis highlights pricing gaps, missing scope, and anomalies across all your bids.
What We Don't Do
We don't take sides
We show the data, you make the decision. No bias, no favorites.
We don't recommend contractors
No pay-to-play rankings. No sponsored placements. Just data.
We don't share your data
Not with insurance companies, not with contractors, not with anyone.
No subscription required
