Editorial policy

Sources

• Every guide is based on several independent sources, named under the article.
• We take facts from the sources, not their wording. Short quotes are marked and attributed.
• Prices, timelines and savings are given as ranges with their source; your local costs may differ.
• We don't recommend specific contractors, and no brand pays for a mention.

Safety

Where a job involves electricity, gas, structure, asbestos, lead paint or work at height, we say so clearly and point you to a licensed pro and your local building codes.

Checks and corrections

Every text is fact-checked before it is published. Corrections and updates are listed in the change history under the article. You can report a mistake through the contact page. Content that breaks the law is removed as soon as it is reported.

Transparency

The structured data of the articles names the editors of the site as the author.
