Pin down the problem
Note the symptoms, take photos, and capture the details contractors will ask about anyway.
Tankless water heater quote
Prepare a sharper tankless water heater installation quote request.
Start with the project details contractors need before they can talk about scope, inspection, and final price.
Quote-ready workflow
Use cost context before the call.
The quote flow should collect enough detail to route the project without pretending final pricing is possible before inspection.

Answer a few project questions and see your low, typical, and high estimate with the assumptions spelled out.
Stress-test the quotes
