Before you set a budget
A finished room is more than its materials. Ask which of these costs are included, paid separately or still undecided.
Design, measurements, permits and any engineering. Confirm who handles each item and who pays the fees.
Demolition, labor, materials, delivery and waste removal. Check allowances for products you have not chosen yet.
Hidden damage, scope changes and temporary living arrangements. Agree how changes are approved and priced.
Before deciding which proposal offers better value, make sure both contractors are pricing the same work.
Check a proposalSame dimensions, layout, materials and finish level. Write down anything only one bid includes.
An allowance is a budget placeholder. Ask what happens if your selections exceed it.
Check permits, disposal, repairs and owner-supplied items. A lower total may leave more work to you.
Ask for a written change process, payment milestones and the proposed schedule.
Each estimate links to its published Renology guide. These are editorial planning references, not measured market averages. General service-guide ranges are not a representative national sample.

Source year: 2021 · varied · Terner Center, UC Berkeley
Background only. No inflation factor or current estimate is inferred.
Ask whether your project involves any of these and how the proposal accounts for them.
These published references are separate from Renology estimates. Check each source’s year, location and project size. The checklist above does not mean every source includes those items.
Scope reference · Report specification; not city-specific
Report example covers 30 roofing squares on a rectangular hip roof.
Source year: 2025 · 3000 sq ft · JLC / Zonda
Specification only; no price imported from another region.

Historical context only. No historic national figure is presented as your local budget.
Published examples keep their original size and year; we do not scale them into a new quote. Permit valuations are not renovation prices. Local price data does not confirm contractor availability.
No. The current source library provides comparison examples and general ranges. Your size helps compare examples and prepare a contractor brief, but does not change a published price. A calculation requires compatible unit rates, supported size limits and independent corroboration; the current examples do not meet all of those conditions.
A directory of editorial renovation planning ranges from published Renology project and city guides. It helps you find a starting range and the source behind it.
Renology ranges are editorial estimates, not a representative sample of completed projects or contractor quotes. Separately labeled JLC / Zonda benchmarks are reported costs for defined 2025 example projects. Compare source, year, size and inclusions before comparing prices.
Choose your project and area, read the source guide, then ask contractors to price the same scope. Check design, permits, demolition, materials, labor, disposal and exclusions in each proposal.
Where available, the tool shows a separately labeled local benchmark from the 2025 JLC / Zonda report. Otherwise it offers a general planning reference or project guide. A report benchmark is not a current quote, and a general range is not a local price.
The source is linked beside each range. General ranges come from Renology service guides; local ranges come from published city guides. State ranges summarize those city guides, not measured statewide averages. Separately labeled external benchmarks come from the 2025 JLC / Zonda Cost vs. Value Report and are not included in Renology exports.
The index refreshes as its published source guides change. The source dates are shown beside the ranges. The latest source-update date does not mean that every price was independently rechecked on that date.
Yes. Use the downloads, citation and embed tools below, retain the source link, and describe the figures as planning estimates rather than quotes. The export includes source URLs and scope notes.
Keep the source and scope notes with any quoted figures. The downloads contain Renology editorial estimates only, not the external source library. They also include state-level aggregates. Legacy “national” records mean general service-guide ranges; “sample_count” counts guides, not projects.
