This is a reading resource rather than a business, and it does not run a contact desk.

Hiring Well

Hiring well is mostly a matter of comparing like with like. Verify licensing and insurance directly with the issuing body, get at least three written quotes, and ask each firm for recent local work you can look at.

Guides, Not Services

Back Porch Brush Almanac writes about painters rather than selling it. No booking can be taken here, no price quoted, and no individual firm recommended.

Keeping Guides Current

Where a guide is factually wrong, it gets corrected. Accuracy is the only thing a reference site has to offer, and a page out of date on a code requirement is worse than no page at all.
