Repair estimates grounded in local costs
Bricked aggregates material prices by zip code and local labor rates from the web to produce itemized, property-specific rehab estimates — automatically, on every property you comp.
How it works
Run the property
The same address you comp is the one that gets estimated — one run, everything included.
AI assesses condition
Listing photos and property data set the renovation scope: what needs work and how much of it.
Get the itemized budget
Line-item costs from zip-level material pricing and local labor rates, ready to defend in an offer.
Why $/sqft presets get offers rejected
Light, medium, heavy — multiply by square footage and hope. That’s how most tools (and most spreadsheets) estimate rehab, and it’s why offers miss. A 1970s ranch with a good roof and a gutted kitchen doesn’t cost the same per foot as one with foundation issues and original everything. Bricked estimates the property in front of you, not a category.
Local costs, because markets differ
A kitchen remodel in Birmingham does not cost what it costs in San Jose. Bricked maintains a national database of material costs by zip code and aggregates labor pricing from the local web, so your estimate reflects what contractors actually charge where the property sits.
Itemized and defensible
Estimates come back as line items — roof, HVAC, kitchen, baths, flooring, paint — with quantities scaled to the property. Hand it to a contractor for a sanity check, or to a lender who wants to see where the budget goes. When a seller pushes back, you have specifics instead of a lump sum.
Tied to the comps, automatically
Repair estimates aren’t a separate calculator — they’re generated alongside your comps and ARV in the same run. Condition scoring from listing photos informs both, so the renovation level that drives your comp selection is the same one sizing your rehab budget.
Frequently asked questions
How does Bricked estimate repair costs?
Bricked combines a national database of material costs by zip code with local labor pricing aggregated from the web, then scales line items to the property’s size and condition as assessed from photos and property data.
Are the estimates itemized?
Yes — you get line items with quantities (roof, kitchen, baths, systems, cosmetics), not a single blended number, so you can adjust scope and defend your offer.
Is this more accurate than $/sqft rules of thumb?
A $/sqft preset applies one number to every property in a category. Bricked prices the specific property in its specific market — local costs, actual condition, actual scope — which is what contractors will quote against.
