HomeCostData

Federal data · Sourced · Dated

What home work really costs,
calculated, not guessed.

Most cost guides average anonymous survey answers. We start from the two numbers that actually set the price: what the trade earns per hour in your metro area, and what the materials index has done this year. Both come from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and both are dated on the page.

We do not sell home services, take contractor referral fees, or accept paid placement. How the numbers are built →

Wage figures come from the Bureau of Labor Statistics survey for each metro area. Cities are added as breakdowns are published for them.
