    remodeleriq_analyze_bidAnalyze a home-remodeling contractor's bid/estimate for fairness and risk.

    remodeleriq_get_labor_ratesGet 2026 burdened construction trade labor rates ($/hour) for a US state, derived from BLS wage data. Returns rates by trade (carpenter, plumber, electrician, painter, etc.). Use when a homeowner asks what trade labor should cost or whether a bid's labor line is fair.
