Pricing analysis

The Top 5 Under-Priced Items

Across 340 estimates, these items were consistently under-priced. Every single contractor.

1
Demolition Labor
Off by 30–50% on average. Time to demo always exceeds the bid.
2
Trim Carpentry Hours
The detail work that eats budgets. Crown, base, casing — never enough hours.
3
Painting Prep Time
Sanding, taping, priming — the invisible hours before a single coat goes on.
4
Concrete Finishing
Not the pour — the finishing. Floating, edging, curing. The part that takes skill.
5
Cleanup & Haul-Off
The line item nobody wants to price right. Dumpsters, labor, dump fees.
Unbilled work
$47K
