This calculator is a planning tool, not a quote. Use the range to set a reasonable starting point, then compare the actual scope on your estimate. Labor, materials, access, urgency, permits, and provider tier can move a legitimate price above or below the national midpoint.
If a quote lands outside the range, ask for a line-item breakdown before deciding it is unfair. A higher price can be justified by a larger scope or premium materials; a very low price can mean important work was excluded.
