Terms of use

Effective

By using homecostmath.com (the "site"), you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Estimates, not professional advice

The calculators and articles on this site give general estimates for planning and buying materials. They are based on the numbers you enter and on typical product specifications and rules of thumb. Real quantities can differ because of the products you choose, the condition of your home, how materials are installed and other factors.

Nothing on the site is professional, engineering or legal advice. Always check product labels and manufacturer instructions, follow your local building codes, and consult a licensed professional for structural, electrical, plumbing or other work that requires one.

No warranty

We work to keep the calculators accurate, but the site is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness and fitness for a particular purpose.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site or from decisions you make based on its results, including the cost of materials bought or work carried out. Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot be limited under the law that applies to you.
