Our median is the median of each publisher's average (or the midpoint of its range where no average is published). Lowest low and highest high are the extremes across publishers. Spread is the gap between the lowest and highest publisher averages as a share of the lowest.
How we get prices
Each price on this site is a published figure from a named cost guide or an official source, with the month and year it was published or checked. The main cost guides are HomeAdvisor, Angi, HomeGuide, Fixr, This Old House, Bob Vila and Forbes Home; for city pages we add city, county, utility and state sources. Where publishers disagree, every page shows both figures and names each one. We never blend them into a range nobody published, and we never print a price without its source.
- Pull the current range, average and date from each publisher's page.
- Record the publisher, URL and date in the fact file for that page.
- Write the page from the fact file only; every number on the page has a source on the page.
- A second reviewer who did not write the page checks the figures against the live source.
- Re-check prices quarterly; the index carries a version number and a change log below.

Questions people ask
Why do publishers disagree so much on the same job?
Each cost guide builds its range from its own project data or surveys, so the mix of jobs, regions and years differs. Across this index the publishers' averages differ by a median of 32%. The spread is widest on jobs with many variables (a sewer line, a foundation) and narrowest on single-part repairs.
Which publisher should I trust?
None is wrong; they measure different things. HomeAdvisor and Angi report what their members paid, HomeGuide and Fixr compile contractor rates, This Old House surveys readers. Use the lowest low and highest high as the realistic bracket, and get an itemized written quote before work starts.
Is our median a quote?
No. It is the median of the publishers' averages (or range midpoints), a reading aid for comparing guides. Your price depends on the job, the house and the city; the city pages on this site add local permit and rate facts where we have them.
How often is the index updated?
Quarterly, with a new version number and a change log on this page. Each page's Updated date shows when its own figures were last checked.
Can I reuse the data?
Yes, with a link to this page. The CSV lists every figure with its publisher, date and URL so you can cite the original too.
