How to compare quotes for prescription

For prescription, a fair comparison means identical scope. If one quote includes permits and cleanup and another does not, the cheaper total may not be cheaper at all.

Timing your prescription

Timing changes what you pay for prescription. Demand peaks around holidays, seasonal deadlines and the start of the busy season, and prices follow. Booking in a quieter window is one of the few levers that lowers the figure without cutting scope.

Getting quotes for prescription

A good prescription quote lists what is included, what is excluded and how long the price is held. If it does none of those, ask for a revised version.

Frequently asked questions

How much does prescription cost?
Most prescription falls between $1,049 and $5,140, with a typical figure near $2,322 per job. The low end is a straightforward job with no surprises; the high end covers complex scope, premium materials or urgent timing. It is worth testing that against a couple of quotes in Saint John.
What affects the price of prescription?
Providers price risk as well as work. A job with unknowns costs more to guarantee, which is why two quotes for the same request can differ so much. Local providers in Saint John can confirm how that applies to your area.
Is Prescription cheaper in smaller cities?
Often, but not always. Smaller markets can carry a travel or availability premium that offsets a lower local rate, so it is worth checking a nearby city before assuming the lowest published figure applies to you. In Saint John, that is worth confirming with a local provider before you commit.
How many quotes should I get for prescription?
Two or three written quotes are enough to see the real market range. Compare the same scope side by side, and ask each provider what is excluded and what would change the price after the quote is accepted. The answer can shift with the Saint John market, so check locally.
