Amounts come from national averages published by homeguide.com and angi.com and captured on 2026-09-27; homeadvisor.com is used as a cross-check only. The damage map itself is schematic: it is not a measurement or a forecast of how damage spreads.
The visible surface is only one part of the scope. Explore the difference between managing the damage and putting the room back together.

Our material view separates visible finishes from underlying layers. It does not establish which materials can be saved.
Every figure that enters the total keeps its own row: the base rate per square foot, each material replaced, each flat fee that is added, each of our coefficients. A single headline number can hide what is and is not included.
Every PUBLISHED row is a national average a US cost guide publishes, named and linked; every row marked ASSUMPTION is ours, on its own line. See exactly what is published, what you provide, and what is still unreviewed.
Look behind the estimateEach published row is a per-square-foot or flat-fee figure quoted by a US cost guide — homeguide.com and angi.com — captured on 2026-09-27 and reproduced without changing it; homeadvisor.com is used as a cross-check only. Each publisher builds its national figure its own way: HomeGuide from the estimates homeowners receive from contractors; Angi and HomeAdvisor from surveys of their customers about what the project cost, paired with labor statistics, market research and expert interviews. None is a representative sample of invoices, and none carries a state, metro or ZIP adjustment.
They are real published averages, which is not the same as your price. The rows marked ASSUMPTION are ours, not a publisher’s: elapsed time, water depth and extra rooms have no published coefficient behind them, and each scales the base row only. Not reviewed by a restoration professional. Every published figure is checked against the page it cites; the way they are combined is RestoreWorth’s own, and unreviewed.
Hidden damage, finding and repairing the cause, structural engineering, permits, laboratory testing, taxes, contents, temporary housing, insurance coverage and deductibles are not priced. The tool cannot decide what is safe, salvageable or necessary.
You can use the rows to ask what a quote does and does not include. You cannot use them to judge whether the price is fair: a national average and a local quote are different measurements, and the low/high bounds are the publishers’ own, not a confidence interval.
