Our Mission

To give every American homeowner free, accurate, and transparent cost information for home improvement projects — no signup, no sales calls, no strings attached.

Who We Are

MyProjectCost was built by a team of home improvement enthusiasts, data analysts, and software engineers who were frustrated by the lack of clear, unbiased cost information online. Most sites either give vague ranges or require you to enter your contact information before showing you anything useful.

We built this platform to be different: truly free calculators with real data, available instantly, no signup required.

How We Calculate Costs

Our cost estimates are built from multiple data sources:

Contractor surveys — We survey licensed contractors in all 50 states annually
Building permit data — We analyze publicly available permit records
Material price indexes — We track lumber, concrete, and material costs monthly
Bureau of Labor Statistics data — We use official construction labor rate data
HomeAdvisor / Angi aggregated data — Cross-referenced for accuracy

Does MyProjectCost sell my information to contractors?

No — we don't collect or sell personal information to contractors. Our calculators run entirely without requiring your contact details.

How accurate are the cost estimates?

Our estimates are based on contractor surveys, permit data, and material and labor pricing indexes, shown as Low, Average, and High ranges. Actual costs will vary by project specifics and local market conditions, so we recommend using our estimates as a starting point before getting quotes from licensed contractors.

All cost estimates on MyProjectCost, including our kitchen remodel cost calculator and other tools, are provided for general budgeting purposes only.
