Coastal Home IQ Team

Who is behind the byline?

The Coastal Home IQ Team is the collective editorial byline for research and writing published by Coastal Home IQ. The publication is owned by Contract Exteriors. Our focus is siding, decks, railings, windows, entry and patio doors, screened-in rooms, windowed patio rooms and pergolas for coastal and inland homeowners in the Grand Strand and Charleston/Lowcountry regions.

Industry experience behind the publication

Contract Exteriors owners Randy Hann and Michelle Hann bring decades of home remodeling industry experience. Their ownership is separate from a claim that either personally reviewed a particular article. Meet Contract Exteriors.

How articles are reviewed

Contract Exteriors is responsible for review and editing before publication. Each completed review must be recorded. Articles with installation, code or project-specific performance analysis need an appropriate named human reviewer and a review date. A company review does not imply engineering, architectural, inspection or code-enforcement credentials.

How we use evidence

We match project claims to approved records, product claims to the exact documentation or rating, and local requirements to the responsible authority. We distinguish documented facts, customer-reported results and modeled estimates. AI may assist drafting and organization; the company’s editorial process remains responsible for checking the content.
