About Pricestead

Pricestead publishes free cost estimators for home improvement and repair projects: roofing, remodeling, painting and more.

Instead of a single made-up "national average", each estimator shows a low/typical/high range built from named sources (with links and dates), plus a materials-vs-labor breakdown so you know roughly what a professional would charge versus doing the work yourself.

We use AI assistants to help draft content and pull together public price data; a person reviews the figures, the sources and the wording before anything is published. See our methodology for details on how estimates are built and checked, and our editorial policy for how we handle corrections.

Calculations run in your browser: the numbers you enter are never sent to a server.
