Homeowner & Home-Improvement Industry Insider

M.S. IT Management · B.S. Information Technology

Thomas Applegate is a founder of SageHomeowner and an industry insider with firsthand experience in home services.

He built IT systems used by contractors and service providers, giving him an inside view of how jobs are priced, how work actually gets scheduled and done, and how estimates are generated behind the scenes.

To ground that, he has gone into the field with builders, crews, and home inspectors, learning how roofing systems, structural components, and repairs are evaluated in real conditions rather than from a brochure.

As a homeowner himself, he writes every guide to help people avoid costly mistakes, choose the right contractor, and understand what truly affects long-term home value, including the Sage promise to match you with up to three vetted local companies so you choose with confidence.

He holds an M.S. in IT Management and a B.S. in Information Technology
