How We Write Our Guides

Who writes them. Guides on DC Metal Roofing Finder are published by the DC Metal Roofing Finder editorial team at DC Metal Roofing Finder. Written and maintained by the DC Metal Roofing Finder editorial team — an automated research-and-writing pipeline with fact, compliance and uniqueness checks (organizational byline; no individual editor).

How AI is used. We draft guides with the help of automated tools, including AI, from public sources — government and permit-office pages, published cost data and manufacturer documentation. Facts and prices are checked against those sources by our pipeline, and each price or local fact shows its source and the date we retrieved it. Not every sentence is individually reviewed by a person before publication; we say so plainly.

Cost ranges are typical market ranges from the cited sources, not quotes. Your price depends on your home and the pro.

No credentials claimed. We are not contractors, engineers, electricians, inspectors or lawyers, and nothing here is professional advice. Check permit and code questions with the Washington building/permit office.

No paid placement, ratings or testimonials. Pros cannot pay to change what our guides say. We don't publish star ratings, "best" lists, reviews or testimonials. If we ever publish customer reviews, they will be real, unedited in meaning, and include negative ones.
