Our Story

Our History

As homeowners ourselves, our company was founded out of a desire to help people. Cost Guide hasn’t always been called “Cost Guide” — we used to house it under its parent company, Contractor Appointments! Contractor Appointments was created by our founders as a platform to help both the homeowner and the contractor — one brand and one website helping two different types of audiences. We wanted to help homeowners find contractors, contractors find customers, and improve the overall experience for everyone.

A Growing Audience

Over the years we realized that if we really want to help these two different audiences, we need to have two different websites and brands so that everything can have the opportunity to grow and so there’s clarity around each vision! Because of this, we moved our homeowner-focused side of the company over to its own website – Cost Guide.

First-hand Experience

Our founders have seen first-hand how frustrating it can be when looking for reliable information on what products to buy, where to get them at the cheapest price, which products are the best quality, etc., and how much they should expect to pay in labor costs. Cost Guide was created with the goal of making it easier for consumers like you to make informed decisions about your projects without having to spend hours researching every detail of each project!
