Kurt Manalastas
Home & Property Research Journalist
Kurt is a Home & Property Research Journalist who focuses on researching and writing educational content across home services, property improvement, and residential decision-making topics.
His work centers on helping homeowners understand their options before hiring contractors or committing to major property decisions. Rather than promotional content, Kurt’s writing emphasizes clarity, realistic expectations, and practical considerations that people often overlook until problems arise.
Kurt’s research process blends:
- Real-world contractor and homeowner experience
- Industry standards and best practices
- Verified third-party sources and data
- Clear, plain-language explanations
He spends significant time evaluating common misconceptions in home services such as pricing assumptions, material choices, timelines, and long-term maintenance trade-offs—so readers can make informed decisions rather than reactive ones.
At Sunset Hawaii Fencing Company, Kurt contributes research-driven articles that support accuracy, transparency, and trust across our educational resources. His content is designed to explain why things matter, not just what to do, helping readers feel more confident as they take the next steps.
