Renovation Cost Estimator
A quote tied straight to the numbers a homeowner already knows.
Contractors use an estimate calculator to give a homeowner a ballpark range before a site visit — the "estimate now, get a detailed quotation" funnel that renovation-quote tools already sell on. The range builds enough trust to book the visit that turns into a real quote.

Questions
Does this estimate include labor and permits?
Only if you fold them into "rate per sqft" or "extras" — this barebone version doesn't separate them out. Add separate steps for labor, permits, and materials when you customize it.
How accurate is a per-square-foot estimate?
It's a rough range, useful for an initial conversation. Actual renovation costs vary a lot by room type, finish level, and site conditions — a real quote still needs a site visit.
Can I have different rates for kitchens vs. bathrooms?
Yes, once you rebuild the formula with an if/then/else block that picks a rate based on room type.
