About ReadMyBid
ReadMyBid analyzes uploaded residential roofing quotes to help homeowners compare what they are actually buying. The tool processes 2–3 quotes for the same roof, examining scope completeness, cost uncertainties, and best-value reasoning. It checks for tear-off, decking, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, permits, cleanup, allowances, exclusions, missing unit prices, payment terms, and change-order exposure. The analysis generates a documented recommendation and specific questions to ask before signing a contract. Quotes are sent to an AI service for processing and are not stored by the application. The tool is designed for U.S. residential roofing bids and currently supports PDF, DOCX, or image files up to 4 MB total. It operates during a free beta period with a limit of 5 analyses per internet connection in any 24-hour period.
