Jonathan Blake
Founder of Home Pros Ohio and Midwest Roof Calculators. I write practical guides for Northwest Ohio homeowners: what a project should cost, how to vet a contractor, and what to do before the weather does damage.
Home exteriors
Five years in home exterior account management, helping families plan roofing, siding and window projects, including storm damage claims.
Owned a trade business
Eight years owning a tree service, plus hands-on lawn maintenance and hardscaping, so the advice comes from both sides of the estimate.
How articles are made
Each guide cites its sources, uses published cost ranges reviewed every few months, and pulls local numbers from the Home Pros Ohio directory.
