What we do
Hometriva covers 572 residential services and publishes cost, permit and project information across all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Every service is built toward one research standard — cost, permit, timeline, local factors and calculators — and we deepen coverage continuously, starting with the projects homeowners plan most.
How we make money
Hometriva is free to use. Our research is published in full before anything is asked of you. If you choose to request local estimates, we may share your request with participating independent service providers or marketing partners and may be compensated for that referral. That never changes the cost or permit information we publish. The details are in our privacy and lead sharing disclosure and terms of use.
How to check our work
- • Methodology — how estimates are produced, and what they exclude.
- • Editorial standards — our sourcing rules and what we will not publish.
- • Coverage — services, geography, calculators and data freshness.
- • Report a correction — if a fee, rule or link is wrong, we want to fix it.
