All project types
12 project types, each with its own city pages, license and certification explainers and published price ranges.
- Kitchen remodelersCabinet and countertop refreshes through to gut remodels with new layouts. The biggest single variable is whether plumbing, gas or walls move.$15,000 – $35,000refresh
- Bathroom remodelersTub-to-shower conversions, primary bath remodels and accessible bathrooms. Waterproofing behind the tile decides whether it lasts, and it is the part you never see.$8,000 – $18,000tub-to-shower conversion
- General contractorsWhole-home renovations and any project that needs several trades coordinated. The broadest category on the site and the one where a written contract matters most.$20,000 – $60,000single-room renovation
- Home addition contractorsRoom additions, second stories and bump-outs. Zoning setbacks and the structure of the existing house decide what is possible before price does.$25,000 – $60,000bump-out
- Basement finishing contractorsTurning an unfinished basement into living space, from a rec room to a full suite with a bathroom. Moisture control comes first or nothing else lasts.$25,000 – $50,000basic finish
- ADU buildersAccessory dwelling units: backyard cottages, garage conversions and in-law suites. Rules are set city by city, so local permit experience counts for more than anywhere else on the site.$60,000 – $150,000garage conversion ADU
- Design-build firmsOne firm for design and construction under one contract. Fewer handoffs and one point of responsibility, in exchange for less competitive bidding on the build.$5,000 – $25,000design phase
- Deck buildersWood and composite decks, porches and covered patios. Most deck failures start at the ledger board where the deck meets the house.$30 – $50pressure-treated deck per sq ft
- Window replacement companiesInsert and full-frame window replacement. The installer matters as much as the window brand, because flashing errors leak into the wall.$600 – $1,200vinyl insert window per window
- Siding contractorsVinyl, fiber cement and wood siding replacement. Removal of the old layer shows what is underneath, so price in sheathing repairs.$5 – $10vinyl siding per sq ft
- Flooring installersHardwood, engineered wood, luxury vinyl plank and tile. Subfloor prep is most of the difference between a floor that lasts and one that squeaks.$4 – $9luxury vinyl plank per sq ft
- House paintersInterior and exterior repaints. Prep, not paint, is where quotes differ, so compare what each one includes.$500 – $1,500interior room
