Straight Talk from The Rouse Home
Hi there—John Walters here, founder of The Rouse Home. With over a decade of hands-on flooring experience, everything you’ll find on therousehomes.com is based on real-world projects, not just theory. But to keep things clear and transparent, here’s what you need to know about the information shared on this site.
1. For Informational Use Only
The Rouse Home is designed to educate and guide readers through flooring decisions, installations, and maintenance—from a professional’s perspective. However, the information provided here is for general guidance only. It’s not intended to replace professional advice, building regulations, or product-specific instructions.
Always follow the recommendations of your flooring product’s manufacturer and check local codes or consult a licensed contractor when in doubt.
2. DIY Projects Involve Risk
Many of the guides on this site are created with DIY homeowners in mind—but every home is different. Your subfloor condition, climate, product quality, and tools all influence your results.
If you choose to follow any tutorial or suggestion from The Rouse Home, please do so at your own risk. We’re not responsible for any damage, personal injury, or installation errors that may occur.
3. Content Accuracy & Updates
We aim to keep our content accurate, practical, and updated as flooring trends and technologies evolve. However, we can’t guarantee every article reflects the most current standards or pricing at all times. Flooring products can be discontinued, reformulated, or replaced—so always verify with manufacturers and suppliers before purchasing.
4. Affiliate Links & Recommendations
Some pages on therousehomes.com may include affiliate links. If you click through and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission—at no extra cost to you.
That said:
- We only recommend tools, materials, and products we’ve personally tested or would use in our own homes.
- All sponsored or affiliate content is clearly marked for transparency.
- Our opinions remain 100% our own.
We’ll never promote a product just because it earns commission—it has to meet our performance standards in real homes.
5. Community Input & Comments
We love hearing from our readers! However, user-submitted comments, tips, or advice are not reviewed for accuracy or endorsed by The Rouse Home. Use your best judgment before following any recommendations in comment sections or forums.
