How These Prices Are Calculated

Prices for Seattle are derived from BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) — the US Department of Labor's official wage data for each metro area. We calculate typical job hours for each service type and multiply by the local prevailing wage to derive a fair price range.

Where available, we cross-reference with government permit records showing actual project costs, and community-reported prices from homeowners in Seattle.

The result is a min / average / max range representing what a homeowner should expect to pay for quality work in Seattle. A quote significantly above the "High" column is likely overpriced; one below the "Low" column may indicate limited scope.
