If we identify a factual mistake, we update the article and note what changed with a timestamp.
Minor grammar fixes may be made without a correction note. Material corrections are documented in-post.
Accuracy matters when a guide discusses permits, codes, costs, safety, or project sequencing.
When a supported correction is received, we review the original source, check the current official record, update the article when appropriate, and revise the review date. Material changes should be clear to readers; minor spelling or formatting edits may be corrected without a separate note.
We prioritize direct answers, plain language, decision checklists, and links to the responsible public agency or primary technical source. Dates are shown when guidance can change.
Published information is educational. It does not replace a site visit, engineering, manufacturer requirements, a written contract, or a determination from the building official. Conditions discovered in the field can change scope, price, and schedule.
For a correction, include the article URL and supporting evidence. For project help, share the property location and requested scope so the right next step can be identified.
