FAQ

Is this quote exact?

No. It is a browser-only planning estimate based on the unit costs you pick. Actual bids depend on on-site inspection, prep, coatings, access, and region.

How are unit costs set?

Standard, economy, and premium profiles bundle material and labor rates per area for exterior, roof, trim, fence, and deck. Switch profiles or override any unit cost in the Custom rates tab.

Can I enter only one area?

Yes. Leave unused parts at 0. You can also use the house-size mode to approximate exterior and roof areas from floor area and stories.
