ABOUT THE PUBLICATION
Smarter choices for coastal homes.
Coastal Home IQ is being built to help South Carolina coastal homeowners plan exterior projects with more confidence.
Clear questions. Traceable information.
The publication is owned by Bill Schum and is separate from the Contract Exteriors website. Planned content will combine original explanations, approved project material and clearly identified public sources.
Our publishing standard
Drafts must pass a human review before publication. Local rules must point to the relevant authority. Product claims must be checked against current manufacturer documentation. Project stories need permission and verified details. We will distinguish illustrations from real project photos and disclose commercial relationships.
Automation supports the work.
AI may help organize research and draft content. It does not establish facts, grant photo permission or replace editorial review. Every article requires editorial approval; automatic publishing is not yet enabled.
