Editorial policy

This is how we choose, write and publish stories. We keep it short and plain, because trust is the whole point of this publication.

Stories are based on recorded interviews

Every story comes from a recorded interview. We write from the recording and its transcript, not from memory, press releases or marketing copy.

Quotes are the guest’s own words

Anything inside quotation marks is what the guest actually said. We may remove filler words like “um” or repeated phrases, but we never change the meaning or invent a quote. Facts such as years in business, crew size or results come from the interview or from the guest directly. If something is unclear, we ask before publishing.

Every story is approved by JDC

Before a story goes live, we check every quote against the interview recording and confirm the facts. JDC approves each story for publishing. If a guest spots a factual error after it is published, we correct it.

Being featured is free

JDC does not charge installers to be interviewed, written about or published. Nobody can pay for a story, a better position on the site or a place in the directory.

Links to installers

Every story links to the installer’s website and social profiles. These are normal links, given because the story is about them, not because anyone paid for them.

Corrections

If you spot a mistake in a story, please tell us through the contact page. We check every correction request and fix factual errors.
