All Calculators
Free calculators for the six home projects that cost the most: tree removal, roofing, flooring, asphalt paving, paver patios, and sod. Every estimate adjusts for your state's labor and material costs. Mississippi runs about 16% below the US average; Hawaii sits 35% above. No signup, no email, no contractor callbacks. Run a calculator in seconds, then use the range to sanity-check the quotes you actually receive.

The cost ranges below are typical national averages for residential projects without unusual conditions. The "Best for" column reflects the project type each calculator is tuned for; the "Use when" column gives the most common trigger that brings homeowners to that calculator. State multipliers (covered further down) shift these ranges by ±15–35% in many cases.
| Calculator | Avg cost range | Best for | Use when |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tree Removal | $300 – $6,000 | One-off jobs | Storm damage, dead or hazardous trees |
| Roofing | $5,000 – $30,000 | Major renovations | Roof age over 20 years, leaks, hail damage |
| Asphalt | $2,000 – $15,000 | Driveways & paving | New driveway, resurface, parking pad |
| Paver | $2,500 – $20,000 | Patios & walkways | Custom outdoor space, decorative driveway |
| Flooring | $2,000 – $25,000 | Interior renovations | Worn carpet, dated tile, water damage |
| Sod | $500 – $5,000 | Lawn install | Bare yard, failed grass, new construction |
Which calculator do I need?
Need to remove or trim a tree?
The tree removal cost calculator estimates by trunk diameter, height, access, and stump removal. Hazard level and crane requirements push prices higher; small trees in open yards stay near the low end.
Tree Removal Cost Calculator →Replacing your roof or repairing damage?
The roofing cost calculator covers asphalt shingles, metal, tile, and tear-off scenarios. Square footage, pitch, and number of layers being removed drive the bulk of the cost difference between quotes.
Roofing Cost Calculator →Paving a new driveway or parking lot?
The asphalt calculator handles new installs, full replacement, and resurfacing across residential driveways and small commercial pads. Square footage and prep work (excavation, base layer) are the main levers.
Asphalt Cost Calculator →Laying a patio, walkway, or driveway with pavers?
The paver calculator runs estimates for concrete, brick, travertine, and natural stone. Material grade and pattern complexity (running bond vs herringbone vs custom) account for most of the price spread.
Paver Cost Calculator →Installing or replacing flooring?
The flooring cost calculator covers hardwood, vinyl plank, laminate, tile, and carpet. Square footage and material tier are the obvious inputs. Subfloor prep is the line item people forget, and it can add 20–40% on older homes.
Flooring Cost Calculator →Laying new sod for a lawn?
The sod cost calculator estimates by square footage and sod variety (Bermuda, Zoysia, St. Augustine, Kentucky bluegrass). Most homeowners underestimate site prep: grading, irrigation tie-ins, and soil amendments can run 20–30% of the total job.
Sod Cost Calculator →Compare Projects with AI
Select two project types and our AI will compare costs, pros & cons, and help you decide.
Where you live changes the price
Labor rates, material logistics, building codes, and permit overhead vary widely across the US. The same project can run 50% more in coastal metros than in rural southern states. Every Costorie calculator applies a state multiplier so the range you see reflects local pricing, not a national average that's misleading for half the country.

Frequently asked questions
Are these calculators free?+
Yes. Every calculator on Costorie is free. No signup, no email, no credit card. We don't sell leads to contractors.
How accurate are the cost estimates?+
Estimates land within 10–20% of typical contractor quotes for jobs without unusual conditions (limited access, hazardous removal, code variances, deep subfloor damage). Use the range as a sanity check against bids you receive. If a quote is far above or below, ask the contractor what they're seeing that the calculator isn't.
Do you cover all 50 states?+
Yes. Every estimate adjusts to your state's labor and material multiplier. Hawaii and Alaska sit ~30–35% above the US average; Mississippi and West Virginia run ~15% below. Pick a state from any calculator to see locally-adjusted prices.
Which calculator is most popular?+
Tree removal is the most-used calculator on the site, followed by asphalt paving and roofing. Sod and flooring tend to be seasonal: sod peaks in spring, flooring in fall and winter.
Can I save my estimates?+
Not yet. The calculators run entirely in your browser without an account. We're considering shareable estimate links; if that's something you'd use, let us know.
How are prices updated for 2026?+
Base rates are reviewed quarterly using BLS labor data, supplier price feeds, and contractor survey input. State multipliers are revisited annually. The most recent refresh covers prices through Q1 2026.
