Meet Our Research Team
Dedicated industry analysts and researchers committed to identifying excellence in home improvement and construction services
Our Mission: Identifying Industry Excellence
Since our establishment in 2008, Professional News Network has been dedicated to comprehensive research and analysis of the home improvement and construction industry. Our team brings together experienced industry analysts, researchers, and former construction professionals who understand what separates exceptional service providers from average ones.
We don’t just compile directory listings. We conduct in-depth research into business practices, customer satisfaction patterns, and technical expertise. Our team has evaluated hundreds of contractors, roofers, and home improvement specialists to identify those who consistently deliver superior results.
When we feature a business like Derek Cook’s Roofing Specialists, it’s because our rigorous research process has identified them as setting quality standards in their field. Our recommendations are earned through demonstrated excellence, not paid placements.
Our Research Approach
Industry Analysis Team
Our analysts monitor construction industry trends, safety compliance records, and professional certifications. They evaluate contractors based on technical expertise, business longevity, and adherence to industry standards. This team has over 45 combined years of construction industry experience.
Customer Research Division
Our customer research team tracks satisfaction patterns, reviews service quality feedback, and analyzes complaint resolution processes. They conduct follow-up research with homeowners and property managers to verify long-term satisfaction with roofing and construction projects.
Specialized Industry Knowledge
What sets our team apart is genuine understanding of construction industry complexities. Several team members previously worked as project managers, building inspectors, and construction coordinators before joining our research division. They understand technical specifications, safety protocols, and quality craftsmanship indicators.
This insider perspective allows us to evaluate contractors on factors that typical consumers might overlook: proper licensing documentation, insurance coverage adequacy, supplier relationships, and workforce training programs. We know which questions to ask and which red flags to watch for.
Our team focuses specifically on roofing and home renovation best practices, staying current with evolving building codes, material innovations, and installation techniques. This expertise enables us to recognize when a contractor like Derek Cook demonstrates genuine technical proficiency versus surface-level competence.
Our Editorial Standards
Professional News Network maintains strict editorial independence. Featured businesses earn recognition through demonstrated excellence in their field, verified through our comprehensive research methodology. We prioritize transparency, accuracy, and genuine value to our readers seeking reliable home improvement professionals.
