Questions about Nadir Home

Nadir Home is an independent tool for homeowners. It checks whether a contractor's quote is fair, and it helps you figure out what's wrong with a repair before you call a pro. You upload a quote and get a verdict of Fair, Overpriced or Walk Away, with each line item compared to typical pricing and a short script for talking to the contractor.

Nadir Home is reviewed by George Herlth III, FMP, a facilities and maintenance lead at a large multifamily operator with more than 30 years in the trades. It's a FixGrid product.

Diagnosing a repair is free for up to 3 diagnoses a month. A full quote scan is $9.99. Comparing two or three quotes for the same job is $19.99. Nadir Pro is $9.99 a month or $79 a year and includes 4 quote scans a month, quote comparisons and more diagnoses. Prices are shown at checkout.

No. Nadir has no contractor relationships, no referral fees and no paid placements. No one pays to appear on Nadir, and no one pays us when you hire them. Nadir is funded by the homeowners who use it.

No. Nadir doesn't recommend or refer contractors. It checks the quotes you bring. If you have two or three quotes for the same job, it compares them line by line and tells you which is the best value for the scope.

Nadir compares each line of your quote to typical US residential pricing for that kind of work. The ranges are AI-generated estimates guided by rules George wrote from years of reviewing quotes. They are not a survey of local prices. Results are strongest on clear, itemized quotes. Prices vary by area and season, so treat a verdict as a well-informed second opinion.

Fair means the total and line items are mostly within typical ranges and the scope looks complete. Overpriced means one or more significant items are clearly above typical, but the quote is worth negotiating. Walk Away means several serious flags, like missing scope or a total far outside typical, and you should get a second opinion. None of these is a judgment about the contractor's honesty.

A PDF, a photo of a paper or texted quote (JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC), or the quote typed in. PDFs can be up to 10 MB. Clear, itemized quotes give the most useful results.

Yes. Nadir is built for homeowners anywhere in the US. When a quote or your answers show where you are, the price ranges lean toward that region. Otherwise they use broad US norms, and the result says so.

No. Nadir can't see your house, and it isn't a licensed inspection. For anything involving gas, high voltage, refrigerant or structural damage, have a licensed professional look in person. If anything is unsafe, Nadir tells you that first.

Yes. Describe what's happening, and add a photo if you can. Nadir helps you narrow down the likely cause, tells you whether it's a reasonable do-it-yourself fix or a job for a pro, and gives you a rough cost range. Up to 3 diagnoses a month are free.

We never sell your data, whether personal, de-identified or aggregated. We use it only to run and improve Nadir. Your quote is shared publicly only if you opt in on that quote, with names, addresses and the contractor removed. You can ask us to delete your account data by emailing support@nadirhome.app.

If a paid scan fails because of a system error and you don't get a usable report, email support@nadirhome.app for a credit or refund. We don't refund because you disagree with a verdict.
