How PropFix estimates renovation costs
A good renovation plan starts with a realistic number. PropFix turns a photo and a short description into a material + labor estimate, so you can budget, compare quotes, and decide what to DIY.
Describe the job and add a photo
Type what needs done in plain language — “replace the cracked driveway” or “re-tile the shower.” A photo keeps the scope clear and shareable.
Answer trade-specific questions
PropFix asks the measurements that change the price: square footage, linear feet, number of windows, roof pitch, and more. No irrelevant fields.
AI matches the work to real pricing data
The estimator searches a national repair and remodeling cost database, then builds a line-item estimate with materials, labor and hours.
Choose DIY or hire mode
Do it yourself and see material cost plus your own time. Hire it out and PropFix adds contractor labor with an adjustable markup.
What a typical estimate looks like
These are sample outputs. Your actual estimate depends on measurements, location, and whether you do the work yourself.
| Task | Materials | Labor | Total | Hours |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paint a 12×14 bedroom, two coats | $185 | $340 | $525 | 6 hrs |
| Replace 20 sq ft of cracked bathroom tile | $95 | $210 | $305 | 3 hrs |
| Install a new exterior door and frame | $420 | $380 | $800 | 4 hrs |
Is this a contractor quote?
No. PropFix gives you a data-backed starting estimate, not a binding bid. Use it to plan your budget, prioritize projects, and evaluate contractor quotes with confidence. Always get final pricing from licensed professionals before starting work.
- Estimates are based on national average costs, not your exact zip code
- Material prices change over time; refresh estimates as plans firm up
- Complex jobs may need an on-site assessment from a pro
