Pricing built from real contractor data
Every guide starts with what pros actually charge in each market, so your numbers hold up in front of a customer.
Each guide pairs a national range with city-level pricing drawn from the 4+ services and thousands of contractors listed on Swivl. You get a typical range rather than a single average, plus the tier breakdown behind it — so it’s clear where a basic service call ends and a full replacement begins.
How we can help
Use the guides to sanity-check your rates before you quote. If your price sits well below the local range, you’re likely leaving margin on the table; well above it, and you’ll want the scope and materials to justify the gap. Either way you walk into the conversation knowing where you stand.
Every guide is free and needs no account. When you’re ready to turn an estimate into a job, Swivl handles the quote, the schedule, and the invoice in one place — so the pricing you researched here is the pricing your customer actually sees.
FAQs
Everything you need to know about how these cost guides are built and priced.
Ranges are built from the rates contractors on Swivl report for each service and market, then shown as a typical range rather than a single average. National figures give you a baseline; city-level guides narrow it to the market you actually work in.
Treat it as a reference point, not a price list. Compare your rate to the local range before you send an estimate — sitting well below usually means margin left on the table, and sitting above is fine as long as scope, materials, or warranty justify it.
Some trades price per job and others per square foot or per hour, and job complexity varies enormously within a single service. Where we have enough data we show a narrower typical range alongside the full envelope so the useful number is the one you see first.
No. Every cost guide is free and open, with no signup. An account only matters when you want to turn an estimate into a scheduled job and an invoice.
Pricing refreshes as contractors join and update their rates, so the guides track current market conditions rather than a fixed annual snapshot.
Yes. Start from the national guide for the service, then check the nearest listed city for a sense of regional variation. Coverage expands as more contractors join in each market.
