Terms and Disclaimer

Last updated: September 2026

Estimates, not quotes

Every number on this site is a planning estimate built from published national cost data and our own regional adjustments. It is not a quote, a bid, or professional advice. Real project costs depend on site conditions, local codes, contractor availability, and material prices that a calculator cannot see. Always get written quotes from licensed local contractors before making decisions.

No professional relationship

CostRuler is not a contractor, engineer, architect, or financial advisor, and using this site does not create any professional relationship. Projects involving structural work, retaining walls over local height limits, or permits require licensed professionals.

No warranty and limitation of liability

This site is provided as is, without warranties of any kind, including accuracy or fitness for a particular purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, CostRuler and its operator are not liable for any loss, cost, or damage arising from reliance on estimates or information on this site.

Affiliate relationships

Some links are affiliate links. We may earn a commission if you request quotes or make purchases through them, at no extra cost to you. See ourprivacy policy for details.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules.

Changes

We may update these terms. The date at the top changes when we do, and continued use of the site means you accept the current version.
