Estimate vs. Contract — What's the difference?

📋 Preliminary Estimate

A market-price range based on standard Texas pricing data and the project details you provide. It is informational only — not a bid, not an offer, and not a commitment from either party. Use it to budget and compare.

✍️ Signed Contract

A written agreement signed by both you and the contractor that sets the final scope, price, schedule, and warranty terms. Requires an on-site inspection. This is the document that protects both parties — nothing starts without it.

Royal RC provides preliminary market-price estimates online so you know what to expect before we ever meet. Final pricing is confirmed in a signed written agreement after an on-site inspection — no surprises, no bait-and-switch.
