Our Editorial Team

1. Homeowner-First Approach

Every piece of content we create is designed to empower homeowners with knowledge, not to generate leads for our marketplace. We answer the questions you're actually asking, provide realistic budget expectations, and help you avoid common pitfalls—even if that means recommending you do the work yourself.

2. Verified, Fact-Based Content

All factual claims are backed by cited sources. We don't publish "tips from the internet" or unverified advice. Every article goes through fact-checking, expert review, and editorial verification before publication. When we say something costs a certain amount or takes a certain time, we can show you where that information comes from.

3. Transparent Methodology

We show our work. Sources are cited, data collection methods are disclosed, and our expert reviewers are identified by name and credentials. You deserve to know not just what we're telling you, but why we're confident in that information. Read more in our Pricing Methodology.

4. Inclusive & Accessible

Home improvement content shouldn't assume you're a DIY expert with unlimited budget. We write for all skill levels, all budgets, and all types of homes and living situations. We use plain language, define technical terms, and provide options for renters, first-time homeowners, and experienced renovators alike.

5. Ethical Standards

Contractors cannot pay for coverage or better placement in our articles. Our editorial team operates independently from our business operations. We maintain strict separation between advertising and editorial content. When we recommend a type of professional or approach, it's based on research and expert opinion—not business relationships. Learn more in our Editorial Guidelines.
