When should I read a cost guide?

Read a cost guide when the idea depends on installation, demolition, window changes, roofing, HVAC, solar, plumbing, or a contractor visit.

Should every idea lead to a product?

No. Product recommendations should appear only when they help the visitor recreate the look or solve the problem more easily.
