About HomeQuotr
Built so homeowners never get cheated again
HomeQuotr exists so that every homeowner, in every city, can walk into a contractor conversation knowing what the work actually costs. The data is already public. We just made it usable.
The mission
The real price of a home repair has always been available to insiders. Contractors know it. Insurance adjusters know it. Warranty companies know it. The one person who needs it most, the homeowner writing the check, has been left to guess.
HomeQuotr fixes that. By aggregating municipal building permit records across 100 U.S. metros and six core trades, we produce city-level pricing that is sourced, verifiable, and free. If a contractor quotes you $12,000 for an HVAC replacement in Dallas, you can see in 30 seconds what 9,686 other Dallas homeowners actually paid for the same work.
The tagline we use is simple. The real price of home repairs. On record.
Founder
Kevin Monangai
Kevin is an Executive Director at JPMorgan Chase, where he runs Global Agility Transformation for Payments Technology. Before banking, he played running back in the NFL with the Philadelphia Eagles and Minnesota Vikings, coached with the New York Giants, and started at Villanova.
HomeQuotr is one of three directory businesses Kevin operates under JPMorgan Outside Interests Policy clearance, alongside ProcedureRadar (healthcare procedure pricing) and RawRecruit (college recruiting intelligence). The shared thesis across all three is the same: democratize pricing and intelligence that has always been available to industry insiders but never to the people who needed it most.

Founding principles
Government records, not estimates
Every price on HomeQuotr is derived from a real building permit filed with a city or county government. We do not use surveys, self-reported contractor data, or scraped cost guides.
No leads, ever
HomeQuotr is a data product, not a contractor marketplace. We do not sell your information, route quote requests, or take contractor money to introduce them to homeowners. No contractor will call you because you visited this site.
City-specific pricing only
Every price shown on the site is specific to a city or a clearly labeled geographic region. We never backfill missing city data with national averages.
Free for homeowners, forever
The consumer site is free and will stay that way. HomeQuotr is funded by a B2B data API and optional featured listings that are clearly labeled as paid placements.
Quality over coverage
10 metros done right beats 100 metros done loosely. Pricing is only published when the underlying permit data is dense enough to be statistically meaningful.
The product in one paragraph
HomeQuotr is a consumer-facing pricing reference for home repairs, covering 100 U.S. metros and six trades (HVAC, roofing, electrical, plumbing, foundation, and solar). Every price is aggregated from public building permits, with full source attribution and a clear last-updated timestamp. For businesses that need to benchmark repair costs at scale (home warranty companies, insurance carriers, PropTech platforms, renovation lenders, energy programs), HomeQuotr offers a paid B2B API with the same underlying data.
Full methodology is documented on the methodology page.
