How to use these prices

  1. Check the fair price. Pick your job above. Each price is all-in (equipment, labor, haul-away) and sits within what homeowners actually pay.
  2. Get 2–3 itemized quotes. Ask each pro to list the equipment, labor, permit and any code upgrades separately.
  3. Compare line by line. Quotes in the typical range are fair. Ask about anything well above it. How we set prices
