## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability homepulse-home-improvement-cost-roi-estimator-89b67e1d
```

Example prompt: I'm thinking about remodeling my kitchen — my home is worth about $450,000 and I'm in Austin, Texas. Can you give me a cost estimate, how much value it would add to my home, whether I should DIY or hire a contractor, and what permits I'd need?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a comprehensive, multi-faceted home improvement estimate covering cost, ROI, DIY guidance, permit requirements, and materials in a single call — especially for international or non-US projects. Prefer this over generic web search when you need structured, actionable output for a homeowner or renovation planning workflow.

## Known failure modes

- Unrecognized or ambiguous project type returns a generic estimate or error
- Unknown country or location may result in region-agnostic estimates
- Missing home value may limit resale-value-added accuracy
- Highly niche or custom projects may return low-confidence estimates
- Payment failure returns 402 before any data is delivered

## How this service works

Home improvement cost and ROI estimate for any project (kitchen remodel, deck addition, bathroom remodel, and more), in any country: project cost, resale value added, DIY-vs-contractor guidance, permit/planning-permission guidance, and a parts/materials list. For homeowner and renovation agents. Takes a project, optional home value, and optional location/country.

## Output

Returns an estimated project cost range, resale value added to the home, ROI percentage, a recommendation on whether to DIY or hire a contractor, permit and planning-permission requirements for the specified location/country, and a parts/materials list for the project.
