Terms of Use
By using Renovation Cost Lab (the “Site”), you agree to these terms. Please read them. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
Educational use only
The Site provides home-improvement cost calculators and guides for educational and planning purposes only. The estimates it produces are meant to help you form a rough budget and ask better questions — they are not quotes, bids, or commitments, and they should not be the sole basis for any financial or construction decision.
No professional advice
Renovation Cost Lab is not a licensed contractor, engineer, architect, inspector, or other professional, and nothing on the Site constitutes professional, contracting, engineering, or legal advice. For decisions about your specific project — especially anything involving safety — consult a qualified, licensed local professional. Please also read our safety disclaimer.
No warranty of accuracy
The Site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that estimates, prices, formulas, or other information are accurate, complete, current, or suitable for your situation. Default prices are editable educational assumptions, not verified averages — see our pricing methodology. Actual costs will vary.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Renovation Cost Lab and its owner will not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or other damages arising from your use of — or inability to use — the Site or its estimates, including decisions you make based on them. You use the Site and its outputs at your own risk.

The content, design, formulas, and branding on the Site are owned by Renovation Cost Lab or its licensors and are protected by applicable law. You may use the calculators and read the guides for your own personal, non-commercial planning. You may not copy, republish, scrape, or redistribute substantial portions of the Site without permission.
