What to know about how this site is made, what it can and can’t tell you, and how it earns money.
AI-generated visuals and voice
The Homeowner Files uses AI-generated images and video visuals, and a licensed AI voice named Eric, to illustrate real cost data from public sources. The visuals are illustrations. They aren’t photographs of real projects, products or people.
The numbers come from the public sources named in each article.
General information, not advice
Everything here is general information based on public sources and general industry knowledge. It isn’t construction, legal, or financial advice for your specific project, and it doesn’t replace a licensed professional who has seen your home.
Costs change with location, season, materials and contractor. Treat every number as a starting point for questions, not a quote.
Affiliate links
Some links on this site are affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. If you buy through one, the price you pay is the same. An article that contains affiliate links says so at the top.
Contractors and businesses
We don’t name contractors or accuse any business of anything. Nothing here is an opinion about a particular company.
