About HomeQuotr

Built So Homeowners Never Get Cheated Again

Every homeowner, in every city, should 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.

HomeQuotr aggregates 5.7M+ municipal building permit records across 100 U.S. metros and 6 trades (HVAC, roofing, electrical, plumbing, foundation, and solar) to show what home repairs actually cost in your city. Every price is sourced from government records, free for homeowners, and updated weekly. No estimates, no national averages, no guesswork.

Kevin Monangai is a technology executive at JPMorgan Chase, where he serves as Executive Director and Head of Global Agility Transformation for Payments Technology.

Before banking, Kevin was a running back at Villanova University, where he accumulated 3,167 career rushing yards, the second most in program history behind Brian Westbrook. He was a three-time All-CAA selection. After college, Kevin played in the NFL for the Philadelphia Eagles and Minnesota Vikings, then coached as an Offensive Assistant with the New York Giants.

HomeQuotr is one of three directory businesses Kevin operates alongside his JPMorgan career: ProcedureRadar makes hospital pricing readable using federally mandated price transparency files, RawRecruit helps families navigate college recruiting with data on 1,900+ programs, and HomeQuotr turns government permit records into the home repair pricing that homeowners have always deserved.

The through line is the same across all three: information that insiders have always had should be available to the people who need it most.

HomeQuotr operates under JPMorgan's Outside Interests Policy clearance.

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 reliable.

The Product in One Paragraph

HomeQuotr shows you what home repairs actually cost in your city, covering 100 U.S. metros and roughly 250 million Americans across 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 ships a paid B2B API with the same underlying data.

Full methodology is documented on the methodology page.
