About ReCost™
Accurate, transparent construction cost data for insurance and appraisal professionals. Built by the team behind Clear Estimates.
Built on Clear Estimates
Clear Estimates has been the trusted construction cost platform for contractors and estimators for over 20 years. The platform powers cost data from a network of over 50,000 contractors — real pricing for real construction work.
ReCost takes that same data foundation and makes it accessible to insurance and appraisal professionals who need reliable replacement cost data but don't need a full estimating platform.
Why We Built ReCost
Existing replacement cost tools in the insurance and appraisal industries share a common problem: they're black boxes. They take a few inputs, apply proprietary multipliers, and output a number that nobody can fully explain or defend.
We believed there was a better way — one built on actual construction data, explicit scopes of work, and transparent methodology. A tool that gives you numbers you can trace, explain, and stand behind.
Since 2004
What We Stand For
- Accuracy over speed — we won't sacrifice data quality for convenience
- Transparency — every number is traceable to real construction data
- Role clarity — insurance and appraisal outputs are separate by design
- Professional respect — our tools support your judgment, they don't replace it
- No marketing gimmicks — we let the data speak for itself
