You see what repairs really cost.

We track prices for the Coastal Bend. Five or more people report a price for the same repair in your town, and we show you the range. No names, no guessing.

When you get an estimate for a water heater or a roof patch, you wonder if the number is fair. Most people have no way to know. We started collecting what neighbors actually paid, anonymized and bundled by city and repair type. Once five or more people report a price for the same job in your town, we show you the honest range.

You go to our website and run a repair estimate. You see what it costs. You also see a price band below it showing what other people in your town paid for the same job. We show only the band where most people landed, not outliers. No individual names, no personal details, just the data that matters.

This is brand new and will stay rough at first. We're learning what repairs people care about most. If the data is thin, we say so. The goal is simple: you should never wonder if your quote is reasonable.
