How to Read a Contractor Estimate Line by Line

How it works
Three layers of real data, combined and quality-checked.
01
Government wage data
We pull actual mean hourly rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics OEWS survey — by occupation, by metro area. Not national averages.
02
Local market signals
Google Places API provides real contractor counts, average customer ratings, and review volumes for every city we cover.
03
AI grounding & QA
Every guide is AI-generated but data-grounded — each claim must trace to a verified source. Ungrounded sentences get flagged and blocked.
