Where the ranges come from
7 of the 10 services carry a range. Each one comes from a koira.ai calculator that lists the cost guides behind it and the date they were checked: christmas light installation cost calculator. They are national figures; the calculators scale the labor share to your state's wages when you enter a ZIP.
Lines marked "Set your own" have no range we could source well enough to publish. Price them from your own hours and parts.
