Someone's name is on every page here.

Yes. Every person on this page works at HomeMatchup in the role listed. That is worth stating plainly because this site previously published an expert review panel that was illustrative rather than real, and we retracted it — you can read that correction on our editorial standards page. This roster is the replacement, and it is held to the standard we ask of contractors: we only publish what we can stand behind.

Because we will not print a credential you cannot check. Where a team member holds a verifiable public credential, it will appear on their profile with a way to look it up — exactly as we require of every contractor in the network. Until then the profiles describe the work each person is accountable for, which you can judge by reading it.

Our content team writes them and our expert review team checks them before publication. 6 people on this roster carry bylines and 5 sign off on other people's work. Cost figures additionally clear a separate review against the source dataset and the date it was retrieved.

Yes, and we want them to. We commission licensed roofers, adjusters, engineers and estimators as contributing writers and reviewers. It is paid, your name goes on the pages you work on, and you are free to tell us in public that we got something wrong. Get in touch through the contact page.

No, and the structure is deliberate. Contractors cannot pay for placement in a match or for a mention in a guide, and the editorial team does not report to the commercial team. Pages that advise a homeowner to repair rather than replace, or to wait, are a normal output — they cost us money in the short run and are the entire product in the long run.
