Vincent Roy
Publisher and Editor, HomeServicesCost · LinkedIn
Vincent Roy is the publisher of HomeServicesCost and the founder of Zoom Lifestyle LLC, a US-registered media company that builds transparent cost references for homeowners.
Editorial role
Vincent owns the editorial standards for everything published on HomeServicesCost. That covers the cost methodology behind every calculator, the quarterly refresh of the underlying labor and material data, the source policy on each page, and the affiliate disclosure that appears wherever a page links to a contractor network.
Which networks get linked, and the order projects and options are presented in, are decided independently of any partner relationship. The site earns money from display advertising and, where readers choose to use them, affiliate links to contractor networks. Neither changes the cost numbers or the methodology.
How we keep the numbers accurate
Every range is built from regional Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, RSMeans material indices, manufacturer pricing, and published permit schedules, assembled the same way across categories so a homeowner can compare a roof job in one metro against an HVAC job in another. The full method is on the methodology page. The figures are planning ranges, not quotes, and every page tells readers to confirm against local bids.
What HomeServicesCost covers
- Calculators for the five highest-stakes home projects: roof replacement, HVAC replacement, foundation repair, mold remediation, and pool installation.
- Cost guides that explain what actually moves a bid, what to watch for, and how to compare quotes apples-to-apples.
- Metro pages showing how local labor and permit costs shift the ranges across major US cities.
