Sources and Methodology

Last reviewed: August 26, 2026

Source order

  1. Local building department, utility, licensing board, or other authority for property-specific rules.
  2. Federal and state regulators and safety agencies, including EPA, CPSC, FEMA, HUD, DOE, and OSHA.
  3. Recognized standards and manufacturer instructions for the exact installed system.
  4. Qualified professional guidance that is clearly attributed and within scope.

What we record

For safety or regulatory claims, we record the source URL, authority, access date, geographic scope, and what the source actually supports. We do not turn a checklist into a permit decision or a general hazard warning into a diagnosis of one home.

How Our Home Repair and Product Pages Are Built and Checked

The page starts with the questions homeowners search, such as a leak, a quote, a heater or a tool. For a product, the team gathers the maker’s label, the listed model number, the price, the warranty and refund terms, and the date each was seen. Independent government and safety research is added alongside. A water heater page, for example, records the maker’s stated capacity and warranty length as the maker’s statement, with the date it was viewed.

AI tools draft the page from that material. Before publication, automated checks test claims and wording, and a separate AI system compares the draft with its source material. The editorial team sets the method and reviews pages in samples. Prices and terms show their dates so you can confirm them before you buy.

Costs, products, and case examples

Costs are labeled by location, date, source, and included scope. Product claims are checked against the exact model and manufacturer documentation. Illustrations are labeled; we do not fabricate completed projects, inspections, test results, before-and-after photos, or homeowner experiences.

Updates

Safety alerts and recalls trigger prompt review. Core guides receive periodic link and source checks. Material corrections are dated and explained through the Corrections Policy.
