About Us

The Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) program from the U.S. Department of Labor tracks labor costs by occupation across every major metro area in the United States. This gives us authoritative, government-published data on what skilled tradespeople — plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, carpenters — are paid by region. Labor cost is the largest variable in most home service quotes.

Consumer-reported cost data from homeowners who have completed real projects. When a homeowner in Denver reports what they paid to replace their roof, that becomes part of a verified dataset of actual spending. HomeAdvisor and Angi aggregate millions of these reports, giving us ground-truth data on what real projects actually cost — not what contractors estimate before the work begins.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Physician Fee Schedule provides government-published reimbursement rates for thousands of medical procedures across all U.S. states and territories. These rates reflect actual allowed amounts adjusted for geographic cost differentials (GPCI), making them the most reliable source for medical procedure cost benchmarks nationwide.

The industry reference for home improvement cost estimation, used by contractors, architects, and estimators across North America. Homewyse publishes detailed unit cost data for materials, labor, and equipment broken down by region. It is the reference professionals use when estimating residential projects, making it the most rigorous cost source for construction-related queries.
