Why most renovation cost estimates fall short

  • No two renovations are the same.

    The cost of a renovation depends on the scope, the condition of the property, and the decisions made along the way. Generic averages can’t account for these differences.

    Remodelum tailors each estimate to the specifics of your project and the current state of the property — not just the type of renovation.

  • Renovation costs vary dramatically by location.

    Labor rates, material pricing, and permitting costs differ from one market to another. That’s why national averages often miss the mark.

    Remodelum uses zip-code level data to tailor renovation cost estimates, reflecting local conditions rather than broad assumptions.

  • A lump-sum estimate doesn’t help you make decisions.

    When planning a renovation, tradeoffs are unavoidable — materials vs. labor, finishes vs. scope, budget vs. timeline. Without a breakdown, it’s impossible to understand where money is going.

    Remodelum provides a detailed, category-level estimate so you can evaluate tradeoffs and compare contractor quotes more effectively.

  • Estimating is only the beginning.

    Once a renovation starts, costs change. Materials get adjusted, scope shifts, and new decisions appear. An estimate that lives in isolation quickly becomes outdated.

    Remodelum turns your estimate into a live renovation budget — so the same breakdown you plan with is the one you track as work progresses.

More than an estimator

Patio renovations often change once materials, layout, and site conditions are finalized. Drainage, lighting, and finish upgrades can quickly affect the budget.

Remodelum lets you turn your estimate into a live budget — tracking actual expenses, payments, and invoices as the project progresses.
