How do you quote two sentences from the same paragraph?

If, in one paragraph, you list multiple quotes from the same page of a source, there is no need to cite that source anew each time. Use just one reference instead, placed after the last of your quotes (or perhaps at the end of the paragraph) to sum up the shared source of all your quotes.

How do you properly end a quote?

Sentence-ending punctuation is a whole different story. In the United States, the rule of thumb is that commas and periods always go inside the quotation marks, and colons and semicolons (dashes as well) go outside: “There was a storm last night,” Paul said.

What should a building quote look like?

A quote should include: a fixed total price – not a daily rate. a breakdown of all the work to be done and the materials needed. separate costs for each material and part of the work.

How many quotes should you get?

If you’re getting a main contractor to take on the whole job for you, then you should of course obtain quotes from three to five general builders. And if you’re going down the individual trades route and don’t personally know the workers, calling in at least three is still the most sensible option.
