Where our cost data comes from

Every range is built from three layered sources: the Bureau of Labor Statistics for state-by-state construction wages, the National Association of Home Builders annual cost report, and aggregated installer pricing from over 12,000 verified projects. Every calculator publishes its full methodology so you can see exactly how the number was reached.
