About us
TrueRepairCost answers one question well: what will this home repair actually cost?
Most cost pages online are written by contractors who want your call, or by lead-generation sites that never say where their numbers come from. We publish national price ranges for repairs and replacements, show how each number was built, link every source, and print the date the prices were last checked.
Who runs this site
Marcel runs TrueRepairCost and decides what it publishes. Marcel isn't a contractor or trade professional: the guides are researched and written by an AI research assistant from the sources listed on each page.

How guides are made
Our guides are researched and written by an AI research assistant. It gathers published price data from many sources (cost surveys, retailer and manufacturer prices, government data), compares them, and builds each range. Every number is tied to a cited source, and each source shows the date it was accessed, so you can check anything yourself. We say this openly because you should know how the information you rely on was made. The full process is on our research method page.
How we make money
The site is free to read. We earn money from display ads and, on some guides, from a "get quotes" service that pays us when you request quotes from local contractors. Neither affects the prices we publish. Details are in our editorial policy.
