HomeCalc started with a simple frustration: every time we planned a small project — spreading mulch, pouring a patio, painting a room — we'd end up on a dozen different websites, each with its own clunky calculator, pop-ups, and "sign up to save" nonsense. We thought we could do better.
So we built a single place where you can estimate just about any building material. All calculations run in your browser — no sign-up, no accounts, instant answers.
What you can calculate
- Landscaping: mulch, gravel, topsoil, sand, sod and pavers for yards and garden beds.
- Concrete: slabs, pads, footings, blocks, brick, mortar and rebar for foundations and hardscapes.
- Paint & wall: paint, spray coverage, wallpaper and drywall for room makeovers.
- Flooring: tile, hardwood, carpet, stair treads and baseboard for renovations.
- Deck & fence: deck boards, fencing, lumber, rafters and stain for backyard projects.
- Roofing: shingles, roof pitch, underlayment and gutters before you replace a roof.
Who it's for
Weekend DIYers planning their first flower bed, homeowners sizing a fence or a paint job, and pros who just need a quick sanity check before ordering. The estimates are built on standard material densities, so they're great for planning and budgeting — just remember to add a little extra for waste.
