About Our Data

CostSignals aggregates data from multiple sources to provide accurate cost estimates for home improvement projects across the United States:

  • Bureau of Labor Statistics: Regional wage data and cost-of-living indexes
  • Contractor Surveys: Real pricing data from licensed contractors nationwide
  • Material Cost Tracking: Ongoing monitoring of material prices by region

Our cost indexes are updated regularly to reflect current market conditions. A cost index of 100 represents the national average; higher numbers indicate more expensive areas, while lower numbers indicate more affordable areas.
