CostCalculator.io
Know what it costs before you call
CostCalculator.io is a lead generation platform for home improvement service providers, wrapped in a free tool that homeowners actually want to use. Users draw project outlines on satellite imagery and get instant cost estimates—no signup, no email, no friction. That frictionless experience is the funnel: every estimate represents a homeowner who is actively pricing a project and ready to hire.
The consumer-facing product solves a real problem—homeowners have no idea what things cost before they call a contractor. By giving them a trustworthy ballpark number powered by localized contractor data across 980+ cities in all 50 states, CostCalculator.io becomes the starting point for their buying journey.
Currently offering fence and driveway calculators, with roofing next. Each new project type opens another vertical of high-intent leads. The model scales horizontally—every calculator added multiplies the addressable market without changing the underlying platform.
