This is how articles on VistaNestDaily are researched, written, checked and updated.
- Answer first. Each section begins with the direct answer, then the detail.
- Sources. Cost, code, safety and tax claims should link to a primary source such as ENERGY STAR, the US Department of Energy, the IRS, the EPA, the CPSC, the FTC or the local building department. Prices state a region and a month.
- Professional review. Our standard is that posts on electrical, plumbing, gas, structural, roofing, lead paint and tax topics are reviewed by a licensed professional or a CPA, who is named on the page with the review date. We are still onboarding reviewers; until a reviewer is named on a page, treat it as editorial guidance and confirm with a licensed professional.
- Original proof. We aim to use our own photos and measurements. Stock images are labeled.
- Updates. Cost and code pages are re-checked at least every six months. Pages show the date they were last updated.
- Corrections. Tell us about an error through our contact form or at nolanwexforrd@gmail.com. We correct it promptly and note the change on the page.
- AI use. AI tools may help with research and editing. Every published claim is checked by a human, and no article is published without a human author or editor.
