Not all media mentions carry the same editorial standards
Not all media mentions or “As Featured In” claims carry the same editorial standards. Some are independent editorial coverage. Some are expert contributor programs. Some are paid sponsorships or advertising. Some are marketing placements available for purchase. Some are third-party rankings or review websites.
None of these categories are inherently good or bad — they’re simply different. We believe homeowners deserve to understand those differences. That’s why every credibility claim on our website links directly to its original source, so anyone can independently verify it before making a decision.
So here is our standard: every authority claim on this site links to the evidence behind it — check any of it yourself.
- Florida Statute §627.7011 — the roof-age / property-insurance law, on the State Legislature’s official site.
- DBPR license verification — confirm license CCC1331721 is current and active with the State of Florida.
- Expert Contributor articles — every publication above links to the live piece, so you can read it in full.
- Media coverage, labeled honestly — the table below states exactly what each mention is: earned, a ranking, or sponsored. Nothing is dressed up as more than it is.
- Case studies and published guides — real projects and educational content you can read and check for yourself.
We would rather raise the standard for transparency than ask you to trust marketing. Verify every claim — including ours.
