The information advantage the industry kept for itself.
For decades, contractors, manufacturers, and home services companies have held all the cards. What things should cost. Which contractors cut corners. What systems are actually failing. Homeowners found out the hard way — at the worst possible time.
What Hearth is
Hearth is a homeowner intelligence platform — the first resource built entirely on the homeowner's side of the table. It combines editorial expertise from 13 years inside the home services industry with community-generated data from homeowners logging real jobs, real prices, and real contractor experiences.
Editorial expertise
What to look for before hiring a contractor. What fair pricing looks like. How systems age. What red flags mean. Content built from 13 years inside manufacturing, installation, construction technology, and national-scale contracting.
Community data
Real contractor reviews tied to verified logged jobs. Real pricing from real homeowners in real zip codes. Contractor reputations built by the people who actually hired them — not by contractors paying for placement.
The community flywheel
Every homeowner who logs a job contributes anonymously to the community pool. Pricing data, contractor reputation, product performance, system lifespan — all of it becomes more accurate with every entry. The platform becomes more valuable with every home added.
Our promise
Give homeowners the information advantage the industry has always kept for itself. Every logged job, every price shared is a homeowner giving the next homeowner a better position than they had.
How Hearth makes money
Hearth is free for homeowners — forever. Revenue comes from manufacturers and service providers who sponsor editorial content and targeted placements. Every sponsored placement is clearly labeled SPONSORED. Editorial content remains independent — sponsors get placement, not editorial control.
We never sell homeowner data. We never accept payment to alter reviews or community data. The platform's credibility depends on this being absolute.
