Jessica Martinez
Contributing Writer, Home Renovation
Jessica covers home renovation costs for this site: the fifty-state comparison table, the calculator explainers, and research into which upgrades actually pay off at resale. She works from remodeling cost surveys, regional wage data and contractor pricing rather than guesswork, and a version of her research shows up on a couple of sibling home-cost sites too, usually reworked for a narrower single-project topic like a furnace swap or a gutter job instead of a full remodel.

Chris Terry
Site Owner
Chris owns this site and answers for what it publishes: the math inside the four calculators, the per-square-foot and scope-tier rates that drive them, and the fifty-state comparison table. Nothing changes in those numbers without him reviewing it first.
The editorial standards page walks through exactly where the underlying data comes from and on what schedule it gets rechecked.
