Cost Data Methodology
Our cost figures are estimates built to help you budget. Here's where they come from and how to read them.
Where our cost figures come from
The price ranges in our cost guides are triangulated from multiple reputable, current sources: published industry cost data, manufacturer and material pricing, and typical labor rates for each trade. We synthesize these into ranges rather than republishing any single source, and we note the year the figures reflect.
How we build price ranges
- Ranges, not quotes.Every project is different. We publish typical ranges and a representative average — not a promise of what you'll pay.
- Broken down by what drives cost. We show how price varies by size, material, and scope so you can place your own project within the range.
- National by default. Unless a page says otherwise, figures are national estimates. Local labor rates, permits, and material availability move the real number up or down.
Our own data (as we grow)
As United Renewals matches more homeowners with contractors, we plan to incorporate anonymized, aggregated figures from real quote activity into our guides — clearly labeled when we do. We will never present a made-up statistic as if it were real data; any proprietary figure we publish will reflect actual activity.
How often we update
We review our cost guides on a regular cadence and update figures when prices, tax rules, or incentive programs change. Each guide shows a visible “Last updated” date, and we only change that date when we've made a real update.
Limitations
Treat every figure here as a planning estimate. For an accurate price, get free quotes from licensed local pros — that's the only way to know what your specific project will cost. For dated financial claims (tax credits, rebates, benefit programs), always confirm current rules with the official source or a qualified professional.
