Editorial and Source Standards

Every consequential legal, fee, soil, permit, label, and insurance statement on this site is checked against a primary government source and carries a visible verification date.

Source hierarchy

Legal, regulatory, licensing, permit, fee, safety, and technical requirements are sourced first to the government body or official document that sets them. National editorial cost guides, provider pricing pages, and local estimate pages may be used only to document what those pages publicly displayed on a recorded verification date; they are classified separately and are not presented as verified transaction data, universal market prices, or technical authority. Forums and unsourced directories are not used as technical authority.

This distinction matters most for numbers readers may rely on. A spacing figure, soil-bearing requirement, fee, label rule, licensing rule, or insurance requirement is taken from the statute, rule, or agency that sets it. A published commercial price or estimate is evidence only of what that named page displayed on the recorded verification date. When no authoritative source supports a universal legal, technical, or regulatory figure, the site does not invent one.

Verification-date practice

Consequential claims carry a visible review date. A date changes only on a material recheck of the underlying source, never simply because a page was rebuilt. That keeps a review date meaningful: it tells you when the fact was last checked, not when the site was last deployed.

Corrections

If something here is wrong or out of date, send the correction through the contact page. The claim will be rechecked against the controlling official source when one exists, or against the cited published page and recorded verification details when the page is documenting a commercial or editorial source.

Responsible AI-assistance disclosure

Content on this site is drafted with AI assistance and reviewed against the cited primary sources before publication. AI assistance speeds drafting; it does not replace the source check, and no claim is published solely because a model produced it.

What this site refuses to publish

Some things are never published here: fabricated reviews or completed projects, invented credentials, addresses, or availability, claimed local experience the site does not have, invented local prices, and unsourced maintenance intervals. Where a figure cannot be sourced, the reader is routed to the source rather than given a number that only looks authoritative.
