Terms

These Terms explain the basic rules for using Repair Cost Tools. By using this website, you agree to use the calculators and guides as general educational planning information only.

Effective date: 2026

Educational use only

Repair Cost Tools provides calculators, guides, checklists, and planning information for homeowners. The site does not provide contractor quotes, construction services, engineering advice, legal advice, tax advice, insurance advice, real estate advice, financial advice, or safety inspections.

No guaranteed prices

Calculator results are rough planning ranges based on simplified assumptions. Actual project costs vary by location, labor availability, material prices, permit requirements, code rules, home age, access, damage, contractor scope, and market conditions. A calculator result is not a bid, quote, offer, contract, warranty, or professional recommendation.

Your responsibility

You are responsible for verifying project details with qualified local professionals before approving work, buying materials, applying for permits, making repairs, or signing a contract. Always compare written estimates with the same scope before making decisions.

No contractor relationship

Using this website does not create a contractor-client, consultant-client, professional, fiduciary, or advisory relationship. Repair Cost Tools does not inspect properties, supervise work, hire contractors for you, or guarantee third-party services.

Permits, codes, and safety

Home repair and remodeling projects may involve permits, inspections, utility shutoffs, code requirements, licensed trades, structural concerns, hazardous materials, or safety risks. Confirm local rules and professional requirements before starting work.

Website availability and changes

We may update, remove, add, or change calculators, guides, estimates, assumptions, features, links, and pages at any time. We do not guarantee the site will always be available, error-free, current, complete, or compatible with every device.

Advertising and third-party links

The site may display advertising or link to third-party websites. Third-party websites, advertisers, contractors, tools, and services are not controlled by Repair Cost Tools. We are not responsible for their content, claims, pricing, privacy practices, or services.
