Editorial and corrections policy

Last updated: July 13, 2026

Accuracy and sourcing

We aim to make every consequential number traceable to a current source and to distinguish a sourced fact from an editorial interpretation. For health, safety, insurance, legal, and code topics, we prefer government agencies, standards bodies, and other primary or authoritative references. Pricing ranges may also rely on current project-cost databases and industry sources.

No invented expertise

We do not invent credentials, inspections, hands-on tests, case studies, customer outcomes, or professional review. The RepairPriceGuide Editorial byline identifies the publishing team; it is not a substitute for a named licensed reviewer. A page names a reviewer only when that person has actually reviewed it and their relevant credentials can be described accurately.

Commercial separation

Contractors may pay to access homeowner quote requests. Payment does not buy a favorable mention, ranking, cost range, or editorial conclusion. Sponsored or paid placements, if introduced, will be labeled where readers encounter them.

Corrections

Send the page URL, disputed statement, and supporting source through our contact page. We review material errors first: wrong ranges, broken formulas, unsafe instructions, incorrect insurance or regulatory framing, and sources that no longer support a claim. Minor style edits may be made without a correction note; material changes that could alter a decision should be disclosed on the affected page.

Update dates and labels

An updated date reflects an editorial review or material revision. “Sources checked” means the listed sources and internal consistency were reviewed. It does not indicate professional review unless the page also identifies a named reviewer.
