Your Home Services App Should Start Here
Before you hire anyone or download another home services app, get the real cost range for your repair, plus a checklist to catch an inflated quote.
Everything you need before you say yes to a quote
No account, no phone number, no spam calls. Just the numbers and the questions that matter.
Real cost ranges
National averages plus state and metro adjustments, so you know if your area runs high or low before you compare a single quote. A $9,000 job in Ohio can run $15,000 in California for the same scope.
Contractor red flags
A plain-language checklist for spotting inflated bids, storm-chaser tactics, and pressure to sign the same day. Written by people who've read a lot of bad quotes.
Free project calculators
Materials plus labor, broken down by project, so a rough number takes minutes instead of five phone calls and a week of waiting.
DIY vs hire breakdowns
See where doing it yourself actually saves money and where a licensed contractor, permit, and warranty are worth every dollar.
No sign-up required
Browse every guide and calculator without creating an account or handing over your phone number to anyone, ever.
Sourced, not guessed
Numbers pulled from public cost-data sources and updated for 2026, not a single contractor's opinion of a fair price for your job.
Four steps before you hire anyone
Use it alongside any home services app or contractor you're already talking to.
-
1
Find your repair
Search or browse by trade and room: plumbing, roofing, electrical, painting, HVAC, and more. New guides go up every week.
-
2
Get the real range
See what the job should cost nationally and in your state, not just a single average number buried in a national study.
-
3
Run the red-flag check
Compare the scope and price in your quote against what's typical for that repair, including whether a permit should be part of it.
-
4
Hire with confidence
Negotiate, ask better questions, or walk away, knowing what normal actually looks like instead of guessing under pressure.
Roof leak? Get the range before you climb a ladder or call anyone.
A roof estimate can swing by thousands of dollars depending on whether you actually need a full replacement or a targeted repair. Pic2Quote breaks down the cost difference by material and by region, so you walk into that conversation already knowing what a fair number looks like. Snap a photo of the damage for your own records, then check the guide before the first contractor shows up. If the number they quote you is double what the guide shows for the same scope, that's your cue to ask more questions or get a second bid before you sign anything.

A typical lead-gen app vs Pic2Quote
Most home services apps are built to match you with a pro fast. Pic2Quote is built to make sure the number they give you is fair. The two aren't competing, they solve different problems.
| What matters | Typical lead-gen app | Pic2Quote |
|---|---|---|
| How it makes money | Sells your contact details to several contractors at once | Free content, nothing sold about you |
| What you see first | A form asking for your phone number | A real cost range for your repair |
| Sign-up required | Usually, yes | No |
| Main job | Match you with a pro | Help you judge the quote you already have |
