Straight about what a ballpark is
A range for planning, not a price to sign
A ballpark tells you whether the project and your budget are in the same neighborhood before anyone spends a day measuring. Every range we send comes in writing with:
- What we assumed — finish level, what stays, what moves.
- What we excluded — permit fees, hidden conditions, items not shown on the plans.
- What we still need to see — usually the structure, the panel and the mechanical systems.
What we will not do: turn a ballpark into a fixed price without a walkthrough, price another contractor’s bid line by line, or guess when the drawings are not enough. If an honest range is not possible from what you sent, we will tell you and offer a site visit instead.

Straight answers
Before you upload
Is the ballpark really free?
Yes. There is no fee and no obligation, and you do not have to book a site visit to get one.
Is a ballpark the same as a quote or a contract?
No. A ballpark is a preliminary price range for planning, based only on what you send. It is not a bid, a fixed price or a contract. In New Jersey, home improvement work over $500 needs a signed written contract that spells out the scope, price and schedule — we write that after we walk the site.
Why might the final price be different from the range?
Drawings and photos cannot show what is behind the walls, under the floor or in the soil, and finishes are often still undecided. Every ballpark lists what we assumed and what we excluded — permit fees included — so you can see exactly what could move.
Can I send another contractor’s bid for you to beat?
We price our own scope from drawings and photos. We do not mark up or match another company’s estimate line by line, because two bids built on different assumptions are not the same job.
Do I need to own the property?
No, but tell us who does. Tenants and buyers under contract usually need the owner’s or the condo board’s approval before work can be permitted, and that changes the timing.
What if my plans are not finished?
Send what you have. Sketches, photos and measurements are enough for a rough range on many projects. If what you send is not enough for an honest range, we will say so and suggest a walkthrough instead of guessing.
What happens to my plans?
We use them only to prepare your estimate. We do not share your drawings or photos with anyone else.
