- HeavyPet-damaged carpet replaced, many wall holes and a full repaint, heavy-soil cleaning, odor treatment, a trash-out, a replaced door, missing keys and damaged cabinet doors (plus yard debris for the house).

Method and data
Figures come from the pt-2026.10.2 ruleset: national unit prices from published cost guides and bids, scaled by BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics wage indexes (May 2025) for each area. Estimates, not quotes. How the estimate works.
We keep an anonymized record of estimates (ZIP3, unit size, findings and totals; never your notes, address, IP or contact details) to improve accuracy.
