Plan the scope before you request a quote
A practical request for caulking services should explain what exists now, what needs to change and which finishing work belongs in the same scope.
Use the same project facts with each provider so differences in service scope are visible instead of hidden inside a single total.
When comparing caulking services providers, keep the starting assumptions identical. One company may otherwise appear cheaper simply because it excluded preparation or follow-up work.
