Lauren Bongard

Contributing Writer

Lauren is a professional freelance writer and editor with more than 15 years of experience writing about the home improvement industry for sites like the Diamond Certified Resource at DiamondCertified.org, The Prime Buyer's Report, and One AllRatings, as well as a variety of home contractor certification and individual contractor and contracting company sites. 

She loves to dig into the details that make projects personal, practical, and functional. Her favorite way to find inspiration is by browsing real estate listings for old homes (particularly century farmhouses) that deserve a second chance. Her personal style emphasizes sustainability, retaining original character, revealing hidden beauty, and a love for all things old. When she's not writing, she's busy doing DIY projects around the house and yard and digging in her garden in the shadow of Montana's Bridger Range.
