We didn't build an app. We built a standard.
ClearCost was born on the job site, not in a boardroom. We are on a mission to replace the anxiety of home improvement with radical transparency.
The Origin
The Problem Wasn't the People.
It Was the Process.
For years, our founders managed top-rated home renovation companies. We saw the same story play out every day: Good homeowners were terrified of being ripped off, so they hesitated. Good contractors were tired of chasing “tire kickers,” so they stopped answering phones.
The result? Gridlock. 0% of planned projects never started because no one trusted the price.
We realized that the industry didn't need another “directory” of phone numbers. It needed a Standard of Truth. We built ClearCost to be that standard — a neutral engine that uses local data to tell you exactly what a project should cost before you ever talk to a human.

Your Fair Market Rate™ — instant & data-backed
Our Philosophy
The Fair Market Promise.
We don't sell leads. We don't inflate prices. We built a system that protects everyone — homeowners and builders alike.
No Bidding Wars.
We don't sell your phone number to 5 strangers. We use Intelligent Matching to connect you with vetted Pros who are ready to manage your project.
Data, Not Guesses.
Our pricing isn't a guess. It's built on thousands of real data points from supply/material providers, skilled contractors, trade publications and more — all specific to your immediate Zip Code.
We Back the Builders.
We believe Pros deserve to be paid fairly for quality work. Our “Fair Market Price” protects homeowners from gouging, but it also protects Pros from low-balling.
What We Stand For
Every homeowner deserves to know the real cost of a project before they commit to anything.
Pricing should be built on data, not on whatever a salesperson thinks you can afford.
Good contractors deserve fair pay for quality work — and protection from the race to the bottom.
Your personal information is yours. We will never sell your name, phone number, or email to lead brokers.
Transparency is not a feature. It is the foundation.
Match with vetted Pros. No bidding wars. No phone tag. No explaining your project five times.
If we can't show you the data behind the price, we won't show you a price.
