How this site is written, sourced and corrected

Authorship and attribution

Pages are written and edited by the Roof Repair Roof editorial team and attributed to that team, not to invented individuals. We do not publish stock headshots, fabricated job titles or credentials the publisher does not hold.

No independent professional reviewer is currently recorded for any page, so no page displays a “professionally reviewed” badge. When a real reviewer is engaged, their name, role and review date will appear on the pages they reviewed.

Sourcing

• Prefer primary sources: manufacturers' technical literature, trade associations, regulators and public data.
• Link the source near the claim it supports, and list it at the end with an access date and a note on what it supports.
• Do not cite a source for a claim it does not make, and do not cite a page we have not read.
• Where a statement is our own editorial judgement — an assumption in a model, for example — say so instead of dressing it as a citation.

Use of automation

Drafting and editing are assisted by software, including language models. Every published page is reviewed and edited by the publisher before publication, and the publisher is responsible for its accuracy. We do not publish machine-generated author identities, and we do not generate pages solely to capture search traffic.

Corrections

If a page is wrong, we want to fix it. Send the page URL and what you believe is incorrect through the contact page. Substantive corrections update the page's “updated” date, and where the change alters a recommendation or a number, we say what changed.

We do not remove accurate content because it is unflattering to an advertiser or a partner, and we do not accept payment to change an assessment.

Commercial independence

The site earns referral fees from participating roofing companies. That relationship is disclosed on the homepage, inside the request flow, in the footer and on the referral disclosure. Fees do not buy editorial conclusions: no company can pay for a favourable assessment, a ranking, or the removal of critical guidance.

We do not accept free products, inspections or services in exchange for coverage.
