# [Get bids on your project, with the extras you want.](https://trymumm.com/categories/contractors)

> Share the job and what would make it great, like a longer labor warranty or an install this week. Contractors bid on the same scope, and you compare them side by side.

## Ask for what would make it great.

- 01 · Ask for a longer labor warranty or the old unit hauled away
- 02 · Ask about alternative materials or a phased project
- 03 · Explore a flexible start date that works for both sides
- 04 · Agree on the work, exclusions and warranty in writing
- 05 · Request payment milestones tied to the agreed work

## Before you send a request



## What makes a useful contractor request?

Include the quote, scope of work, materials, timing and payment schedule. We can ask about the total price or alternatives that keep the work you care about within reach.

## Can we change the scope instead of cutting the price?

Yes. Ask about different materials, a phased project or a flexible start date. Keep any exclusions, changes and payment milestones in the proposed agreement so you can compare it fairly.
