The tool asks the questions a good contractor would ask, and tells you what to ask back. For three plumbing jobs it also shows the observed spread in the limited set of published prices we have collected. That spread is not a market estimate and not a quote. For every other job it shows no number at all, because we have not collected enough to stand behind one.
