If it is a quote " It should say Guaranteed.
Quotes are binding: That is what you pay unless you added items that were not listed on your price quote:

An estimate is a guess and could change. However when we moved to South Dakota years ago, we got an estimate. However we were lucky as the moving company invoiced us. They added about $2,000 to the estimate because they said it was only an estimate,. We only paid the estimate price and refused to pay the added charges. We received about three dun letters with threats of suing. Our lawyer wrote them a nasty note and we never heard from them again. Several years later I worked for Allied Van Lines as a district Manager. We gave Guaranteed quotes: Which meant the price was the price: (unless items were added or not disclosed) when we wrote up our cubing sheets during our walk through.

If it was a estimate: (this was given by phone information only) not a walk through at the house. An estimate is a good guess.
