A QuoteScore of 70 or higher means the quote sits inside the normal market range for the work and region. Under 50 means at least one line was priced above that range. Higher quotes can be legitimate: better parts, a longer warranty, a harder job. The useful move is to ask about the specific lines marked High or Red flag, not to argue the total.
Kitchen is one of the 31 categories in the public QuoteScore dataset, currently 68 quotes with an average score of 57.1.
