how accurate is this calculator?

The calculator is based on multiple, local inputs

• Local Material & Labor costs, complexity, scope of project.
• It doesn't account for hidden site conditions such as wood rot, structural issues.
• The accuracy is within 10% of actual quote.
  

See cost ranges by project and city in our service areas page.

What drives cost?

Do-

• Ask for quotes for exact scope of work. Scope changes are the number one issue with overblown budgets.
• Use our Contractor Type Match tool to figure out your purchasing personality and the right contractor type for you.
• Use all our digital tools for the best start to your project.
  

Don't-

• Assume the Contractor knows your house. Explain oddities, previous issues, etc. - up front.
• Start at the "3 Estimates" habit. That is what creates confusion before you even know what you want.
• Assume lower price is always better, even if your budget is tight. Fixing mistakes after the project costs even more than choosing a higher quote up front.
