Editorial standards

Publishing workflow

Every page moves through: draft → factual review → safety review (where needed) → editorial approval → SEO checks → publication. Each page shows its owner, reviewer, last update, and sources.

Safety boundaries

We don't publish homeowner instructions for:

• Hazardous disassembly
• Live electrical testing
• Gas connections, valves, or burners beyond basic cleaning
• Refrigerant or sealed-system work
• Anything inside a microwave cabinet

Pricing claims

We only publish cost ranges when we can state their source, date, geography, and what they include. Otherwise we explain the factors behind a quote.

Independence

Providers can't pay for changes to guidance. We don't publish fabricated reviews, testimonials, or case studies, and we never caption stock photos as our technicians, customers, or jobs.

Local pages

We publish a state or city page only when it has verified, useful local information. A location page is not proof that providers are available there — the ZIP check is.
