RenoEstimate is a free cost calculator. We don't ask for your name, email, or phone number, and we don't sell anything. The only information collected is anonymous, aggregated website analytics, described below.
What we collect
Nothing that identifies you personally. You can use the entire calculator without giving us any information about yourself. We don't have accounts, sign-ups, contact forms, or newsletters.
When you use the calculator, your answers are stored only in the address bar of your own browser, so you can bookmark or share your estimate. That information stays in your browser — it is never sent to us or stored on a server.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how many people visit and which features they use, so we can improve the tool. Google Analytics collects standard, non-identifying information such as your approximate region, device and browser type, pages viewed, and buttons clicked. It uses cookies to do this.
We use this only in aggregate — to see, for example, that "40 people used the roofing calculator this week," never to identify any individual. You can opt out across all sites using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or through your browser's privacy settings. Google's own practices are described in Google's Privacy Policy.
Cookies
The only cookies on this site come from Google Analytics, for the purpose described above. The calculator itself does not require cookies to work.
Third parties we rely on
- Our web host serves the website to you and, like all web servers, may log basic technical information such as IP addresses for security and reliability.
- Google Analytics, as described above.
We don't sell, rent, or share information with anyone else, because we don't collect anything to share.
Children
This site is meant for adults planning home projects. We don't knowingly collect information from children.
Your estimates are not quotes
The numbers this tool produces are general planning estimates, not price quotes or guarantees. Always get written quotes from licensed contractors before starting a project.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update the date above.
