Built for trust
Numbers with
their context intact.
We don’t call a price “fair” because an algorithm says so. We show what was reported, what was supported, and what makes the jobs comparable.
Receipts stay private
Documents support the data without exposing addresses, account numbers, or personal details.
Quotes stay separate
A quote is not a paid invoice. Both matter, but they answer different questions.
Weak data says so
Every chart shows its sample size and confidence instead of manufacturing false precision.
Our ethos
Transparency changes
the conversation.
TradesChart gives homeowners the confidence to ask, “What changed, and what should this cost?”—even when the contractor is standing in their home. A job can change when the scope changes; the price should never change simply because the customer is a captive audience.
An airline can reroute around bad weather without inventing a surprise fare at the gate. Home repairs deserve the same basic fairness: changing conditions can change the work, not justify hidden pricing.
