Who's on the Research Desk
Two people research and grade everything here, each with a stated beat and a stated method. No anonymous listicles, no fabricated credentials — just published process.
Ellen Marsh
Product & Seller Editor
Covers the products and the sellers who make them. Builds per-window price tables at benchmark sizes, reads every published measuring guide and remake policy, and refuses to let a "from $X" teaser stand in for a real quote. Precise and reassuring: the review tells you what a window actually costs and what the seller does if it arrives wrong.

Theo Brandt
Measuring & Install Editor
Covers the tape measure and the drill. Mount types, the deduction math that decides whether a custom order fits, no-drill options that actually hold, and motorization judged on the durable specs. Workshop-practical and checklist-driven: measure in three places, take the smallest, and confirm the deduction against the seller’s guide before anyone hits "order."
