Editorial Standards

Where this comes from

What’s published here is grounded in Moxie Collaborative’s actual design and construction work. Every piece is reviewed and approved by someone on our design or construction team before it goes live, not just whoever drafted it.

Keeping things current

Codes, materials, and pricing change over time. When something on this site is out of date, we update it rather than leaving it as-is.

Review before anything goes live

Every piece gets read by someone on our design or construction team before publishing, not just whoever wrote the draft. Some posts start with help from digital writing tools to get a first draft moving faster, but nothing goes up without a real person here checking it against what we actually do on job sites and putting it in our own words.

What this site is and isn't

This is a resource for homeowners thinking through a renovation, written and/or reviewed by the people who build them. It’s not a substitute for a site visit, a signed scope of work, or a conversation with our team about your specific house. Every home is different, and general advice on the internet has limits. Where a decision depends on your project’s particulars, we’ll tell you to talk to us directly instead of guessing in a blog post.
