Editorial Guidelines
How we research, verify, and publish roofing content for Charlotte homeowners.
Our Editorial Principles
Accuracy First
Every cost figure, material specification, and claim is verified against manufacturer data, industry reports, and local Charlotte market conditions before publication.
Expert-Reviewed
All content is reviewed by licensed roofing professionals with active experience in the Charlotte market. Our primary reviewer, James at Best Roofing Now, has hands-on roofing experience in the Charlotte metro area.
Regularly Updated
Pricing data is reviewed quarterly to reflect current Charlotte labor and material rates. Articles are updated whenever industry standards, NC building codes, or local regulations change.
Independence
No roofing company pays for placement or favorable coverage on Charlotte Roofing Hub. Our company directory lists all qualifying contractors equally, with randomized ordering to prevent bias.
How Is Our Content Researched and Verified?
Every article on Charlotte Roofing Hub goes through a four-step editorial process: initial research from primary sources, expert review by licensed Charlotte-area roofers, fact-checking of all data points and claims, and ongoing updates to keep information current with Charlotte market conditions.
Primary Research
We source cost data from Charlotte-area material suppliers, manufacturer spec sheets, NC building code documentation, and industry publications like Remodeling Magazine and the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA). We do not rely on national averages — all pricing reflects the Charlotte metro market.
Expert Review
Content is reviewed by James at Best Roofing Now and contributing licensed roofing professionals who operate in the Charlotte area. Reviewers verify technical accuracy, validate cost estimates against their real-world project experience, and flag any outdated information.
Fact-Checking
All specific claims, statistics, regulations, and phone numbers are verified against authoritative sources. NC building code references are checked against the current NC Residential Code. Insurance information is verified with the NC Department of Insurance. Government program details are confirmed directly with each agency.
Ongoing Updates
Pricing guides are reviewed quarterly and updated whenever material or labor costs shift significantly. Regulatory content is updated when NC building codes or Charlotte-Mecklenburg ordinances change. Articles are marked with their last update date so readers know how current the information is.
