Estimate Desk
Price the work before the walk.
Pick a project, change the sizes and finishes, and see a Kitsap planning band with every line item. The band is a Kitsap planning range, about ±15%, not a contract price.
8 estimates
Inside the house
Rooms, surfaces, and fixtures. Many need a permit only when plumbing, circuits, or structure move.
Kitchen remodel
Cabinets, counters, appliances, and the floor, from a paint-and-hardware refresh to a gut.

Default scenario: 45 sf full bath, tile shower, stock vanity
$13,000 – $18,000

$52,000 – $70,000
Flooring
Room by room. Waste is its own line, not hidden in the unit price.

Method
Where the numbers come from
Each card shows the band for the default scenario named on it, computed by the same engine that runs the desk. Open a project to change the sizes, finishes and options, and the band, the point total and every line item follow.
How the Estimate Desk works explains the unit prices, the ±15% band, the contingency lines and what is never inside a band.
Questions
About the Estimate Desk
Is an Estimate Desk number a bid or a quote?
No. The Estimate Desk gives a planning band for Kitsap County, about 15 percent either side of a point total. It is not a bid, a quote or a contract price. A site visit sets the number, and the written estimate we give you afterward replaces the band.
How accurate is the Estimate Desk planning band?
It is built to be useful for deciding whether a project fits a budget, not to predict a final price. The desk uses JKM Construction's own Kitsap unit prices and shows every line item. What it cannot see, such as the condition of a subfloor, a hard-to-reach lot or the age of the wiring, is what moves a real price, so each result lists its assumptions in notes.
What does the Estimate Desk leave out?
Five things are never inside a band: hazardous-material abatement, structural repair found after demolition, a new electrical panel, water service or septic unless that line is shown, design fees except where a drawing line appears, and financing and temporary housing. Washington sales tax is already included in the prices. Individual estimates add their own exclusions, listed under the result.
Does the Estimate Desk save or send my project details?
Nothing leaves your device while you use the desk. If you choose Discuss your project, the project and sizes you entered are kept in your browser for that visit and offered to the contact form, where you can remove them before you send anything.
A site visit sets the number
The desk gets you to a planning range. We walk the site, measure, and give you a written estimate you can compare line by line.
