Free, independent guides for homeowners

About Fortress Home Guide

Fortress Home Guide is an independent publication for homeowners who want straight answers about protecting their homes. We cover home security, home warranties, homeowners insurance, backup power and storm preparation.

How we research

Our guides are built from manufacturer and provider documentation, published contract terms, government safety guidance and pricing data from installers. Cost figures are estimates that vary by region, home and provider, and we label them that way. We do not invent reviews, test results or awards. When a topic involves legal, tax or insurance decisions, we explain the basics and recommend you confirm details with a licensed professional.

Who writes our guides

Our guides are researched and written by Edward Garcia, who covers home security, home warranties, homeowners insurance and backup power, with a focus on plain-English cost breakdowns and the questions to ask before you sign a contract.

How we make money

Fortress Home Guide is free to read. When you request a quote through a form on this site, we may share your request with service partners and may be paid for that referral. This never changes what we write. Read our advertising and affiliate disclosure and privacy policy for details.
