As a new homeowner, I'm trying to figure out when it's necessary to get multiple quotes for repairs versus just hiring the first contractor who responds. Are there specific situations or dollar amounts where it's okay to skip the extra quotes? I'm looking at work like vapor barrier installation, deck repairs, rodent exclusion, and tree limbing.

Don't just settle for the first contractor who gets back to you! It's smart to ask friends or neighbors for recommendations. I've built a great relationship with my contractor over the years because of a friend's suggestion—he's super reliable. And if you need another layer of assurance, check with your local government permitting office for trusted contractors. They often have great insights! Good luck with your repairs!
