About QuoteRuler
QuoteRuler helps homeowners understand what a home project should cost before they talk to a contractor, and whether the quote they received is reasonable.
Who's behind it
QuoteRuler was founded by Michael Johnson, who researches and writes our cost guides.
Why we built it
Most cost information online comes from contractors describing their own market, or from lead-generation sites that want you to request quotes. Both are useful, but neither tells you how your quote compares with the rest of the country, or with your state.
Each of our guides compares several published sources, explains why they differ, and adjusts the labor share for your state with federal price data. You can read exactly how in How we estimate costs.
What you'll find here
- Cost ranges and averages for common repairs, replacements and remodels.
- A calculator in every guide, with a quote checker.
- Typical costs for all 50 states and Washington, D.C.
- Practical advice on comparing quotes, avoiding extra charges and finding rebates.
How we make money
QuoteRuler is supported by display advertising. Advertisers don't influence our numbers or our recommendations, and contractors can't pay to be included.
