Image Credits and Licences
Every photograph on this site is listed below with its source, its licence, the photographer where one is named, and, most importantly, whether it was taken in the Antelope Valley or somewhere else entirely. Ten were. Eighteen were not, and every one of those is listed as such.
Photographs Taken in the Antelope Valley
These are the ones used on the town pages and in the climate sections, and they are the only images on this site that show this part of California.

Photographs Taken Somewhere Else
Cabinet interiors, door samples, material close ups and workshop shots. They illustrate what is being described rather than documenting local work, and several were taken outside the United States. Each one is labelled with where it came from so there is no ambiguity about it.

About the Licences
CC0 and public domain images carry no attribution requirement. They are credited here anyway, because leaving a photographer uncredited when you know their name is a choice rather than a rule.
CC BY and CC BY-SA images require attribution to the photographer, which is given above with a link to the file page on Wikimedia Commons where the full licence terms live.
Unsplash Licence images may be used without attribution. They are credited above by description and source for the same reason as the CC0 files.
What Is Deliberately Not on This Site
No customer reviews, no star ratings, no testimonials, and no named author with credentials. No before and after photographs of anybody's completed job presented as ours. Those are all things a real contractor accumulates over time and a site like this one cannot honestly display in advance. The reasoning is set out on the about page.
