The hard call on a 5×8 envelope: a walk-in tub or a curbless walk-in shower? Florida and Texas are the first two live state articles. Each subsequent article ships a state-scoped cost snapshot (five line items including permit + impact-rated blocking where it applies), a 4-axis verdict, and a state-specific “Best for {State}” recommendation.
The index is hand-built, not algorithm-ranked. Florida and Texas are live; Arizona is a placeholder with a “Coming soon” label — readers can suggest the next state via the contact inbox.

A room-by-room worksheet, a contractor brief, and a budget grid — built so a family can scope the remodel BEFORE the first walk-through. Two short fields, PDF arrives immediately, and a CAPS-pro follow-up only if you ask for one.
