Contact RenovateCost

The fastest way to reach the editor is email. We read [email protected] on business days and do not staff a phone line or a public street address.
Marcus Chen, editor and lead researcher, reads that inbox. Use it for factual corrections, source suggestions, broken calculators, reprint requests, and privacy questions. Put the page URL in the subject line so we can find the figure you mean.
What to include
- Page URL — the guide, review, or calculator you are writing about
- The number or sentence that looks wrong, copied from the page
- A source — a contractor invoice range, BLS table, manufacturer spec, or retailer page
- Your city or metro if the issue is local pricing, not the national range
A useful note looks like this: “On the bathroom guide, the mid-range tile labor line is high for a 2026 Midwest metro. Here is the bid we received and the square footage.” We can check that. “Your prices are wrong” with no URL is much harder to act on.
What we can help with
- Correcting a published cost, date, or source link
- Explaining how a range was built (labor, materials, overhead)
- Fixing a calculator that returns a bad quantity or will not run
- Privacy and cookie questions about this site
- Permission to quote a short passage with a link back
What we cannot do
RenovateCost publishes planning ranges for US homeowners. We are not a contractor, designer, or marketplace.
- We do not bid your project or “match” you with a pro
- We do not review personal quotes as an official appraisal
- We do not give permit, code, structural, electrical, or legal advice
- We do not take phone calls — there is no published number
For a price you can sign, get at least three written local quotes. Our cost guides are there so you can tell a fair bid from an outlier before you do that.
How fast we reply
Factual errors are corrected within 5 business days when we can verify the claim, which is the same standard on our Editorial Policy. Other mail is answered as the research queue allows, usually within a few business days. We do not reply to mass pitches, guest-post swaps, or link schemes.
Privacy requests
Analytics and advertising cookies are described in the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. To ask what those tools collect, or to report a problem with an ad on a page, email the same address. Calculator inputs stay in your browser; we do not have a server-side copy of the numbers you typed.
