Clear Estimates began in 2005 as an in-house tool at a Minneapolis remodeling company and now runs out of Ann Arbor, Michigan. The whole point of it is the cost database: about 12,000 preloaded parts with labor and material prices tied to more than 400 US market areas, refreshed every quarter, so a bathroom gut in Boise and one in Boston do not land on the same number. Templates cover kitchens, baths, garages, additions and, since 2025, ADUs. Standard costs $79 a month, or $59 billed yearly; Pro runs $119, and there is a 30 day trial.
It suits small remodeling crews and handymen who need a defensible number and a branded proposal the same day. There is no scheduling, no daily logs, no real client portal, so anyone running ten jobs at once will outgrow it fast. Cost data covers the US only, and homeowners planning one renovation will find it priced for contractors, not for them.
