How do you even compare remodeling quotes when they’re all over the place?

My wife and I are finally ready to update our kitchen in Palo Alto and I’ve been collecting quotes for the past two weeks. The range is insane, one contractor said 45k and another said 90k for what sounds like the same work. I don’t know if the cheaper guy is cutting corners or if the expensive one is just charging Palo Alto prices because he can. A friend mentioned I should look at kitchenbathpaloalto.com/locations/palo-alto/home-remodeling/ to get a sense of what a local specialist actually offers and how they break down costs. I checked it out and it helped a bit but I’m still stuck on how to tell who’s being honest. Has anyone here gone through a remodel and figured out how to compare quotes without losing your mind? Did you end up going with the cheapest option or did you pay more for peace of mind? I just want to make sure I’m not getting ripped off but I also don’t want to hire someone who disappears halfway through the job.

    The easiest way to order renovation supplies is directly through the Globy https://globy.com/help-center/glossary online store; they always have everything in stock. I ordered all the items I needed online, and the process was very simple. I selected the products, placed the order, and received a confirmation. Everything went smoothly from there, without any delays.
