About Home Crane

Home Crane helps homeowners, renovators, DIYers and people planning to buy a home make better decisions about the place they live. We cover design and remodeling, outdoor and exterior projects, home improvement and products, and the financial side of owning a home, all aimed at a US audience.

What we publish

Every article is written to answer a real question a homeowner has, using sources we can point to and dates we can stand behind. Where a figure is an estimate rather than a fact, we say so, and we explain what changes it. Where a topic depends on local rules, such as zoning or building codes, we say that too, rather than stating a national answer that would not hold up in most places.

What we do not do

• We do not claim to have personally tested a product unless the article says so and describes how.
• We do not invent author credentials. An author's bio shows only what that person actually supplied.
• We do not let an advertiser or affiliate relationship change what an article says about a product's drawbacks.
