Every ScopeRedi estimate starts from a defined baseline — a real scope of work with assumed square footage. Here's exactly what that baseline includes, what it doesn't, and what drives costs higher.
Quick Select gives you a fast starting range — but every space is different. Even on a quick selection, enter your best estimate of the room's square footage or dimensions. A 60 sq ft bathroom and a 120 sq ft bathroom have very different cost profiles even with identical scopes. The more accurate your size input, the more accurate your range.
