⚠️ Pricing Disclaimer:
The default pricing in this calculator is based on local Toronto Home Depot pricing as of July 1, 2026. Lumber and fastener prices change often and vary by supplier, location, grade, and availability. Please adjust the unit prices below to match your local store before quoting or purchasing.
The default lumber prices are also based on 8-foot material, because 8-foot boards are easier to fit into a standard vehicle. If you choose 10-foot, 12-foot, or 16-foot stock in the optimizer, update the board prices below to match those longer lengths.
