The project builder
Design your project in a minute. Know what it should cost.
Type your address and we read your roof size straight from satellite imagery — no ladder, no tape measure, no guessing. Add everything you're planning, from a new roof to solar to landscaping, and end up with one written scope you can take to any contractor you choose. Your plan stays in your account — we don't send it to anyone.
- We measure it for you. Real roof area, panel capacity and sunshine hours, pulled from Google satellite data.
- Everything in one plan. Roofing, windows, HVAC, solar, security, outdoor — priced side by side.
- Know the number first. A ballpark range per item, so you can tell a fair quote from a bad one.

How it works
Three steps between you and a job done right
Most bad renovations start with a bad hire. We fix that part first.
Learn what it should cost
Start with independent guides and real price ranges for your project, so you know a fair quote when you see one.
Scope the job in writing
Use the project builder to measure, itemize and price the work, so you walk into every conversation knowing exactly what you're asking for.
Choose and contact pros yourself
You pick which contractors to approach and reach out to them directly. Weigh their quotes side by side with our checklists on contracts, timelines, and the red flags worth walking away from.
How Elite Home Saver works
Elite Home Saver is a research and planning tool, not a lead service. We publish independent cost guides and give you a project builder for scoping the work.
We do not match you with contractors and we do not pass your information to them. Nothing you enter here is sold or shared with contractors, and no one will call you because you used this site.
When you are ready for quotes, you find and contact contractors yourself, directly. Your project plan stays in your account for you to print or share with whoever you choose.
Why homeowners trust us
We work for you, not the contractor
Our guidance doesn't change based on who's paying. That's the whole point.
Know how to vet a contractor
Licensing, insurance, and track record — the checks worth running before you hire, and exactly how to run them yourself.
Numbers, not vibes
Cost ranges built from real project data, broken down by material and labor.
Plain-English checklists
What to ask, what to sign, and what should never be paid upfront.
