Obviously the answer I'm sure depends on a number of factors (affordability, reliability, etc.) 

Thank you @John Mason.Do you have personal experience with this firm or some you know is good and reliable ?

@Justina Sirohman no one has created a reliable software program to do this yet - at least not one that is affordable for DIYs.So, knowledge, or access to it, is power for this topic.You'll either have to pay a contractor for bids, and/or learn how to price things yourself.

Seems like market research is the most reliable way to track this.
