Independent renovation guide for Canada

RénoClair

Editorial policy

How we choose, check, update and correct every renovation guide we publish.

In short

Our editorial policy comes down to four commitments: official sources cited, prices shown as ranges, an update date on every guide and quick corrections when an error is reported to us.

Independence

We decide what to publish based on what is useful to homeowners. No advertiser, partner or retailer can buy a conclusion, a ranking or a recommendation.

Accuracy and sources

  • Program amounts, conditions and dates are checked on the website of the organization responsible, and we link to it.
  • Prices are shown as ranges, with the factors that make them vary. Our method is described on our sources and methodology page.
  • When information is uncertain or likely to change, we say so.

Updates

Every guide shows the date it was last updated. Rebate guides are reviewed first, especially after budget announcements and when programs change.

Use of digital tools

We use artificial intelligence tools to help us structure and draft some content. Each guide is then reviewed by a person, who checks the facts, amounts and sources before publication. Some illustrations are also generated with artificial intelligence: they illustrate our point and do not show a real job site.

Corrections

Found an error or outdated information? Email us at info@renoclair.ca. We check every report and correct the guide when it is justified.

Advertising and commercial links

The site may display advertising and contain affiliate links or links to partners. These links are identified and do not influence our content.

Limits of our guides

Our guides are general information. They do not replace the advice of a professional, such as a contractor who holds the licence or registration required where you live, an accountant or a lawyer, or the official terms of a program. In Ontario, Consumer Protection Ontario explains your rights when you hire a contractor.
