New YouTube series helps homeowners make informed decisions about maintenance, upgrades, and long-term home investments
VAN ALSTYNE, Texas, Jan. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Cook DFW Roofing & Restoration has launched Know Your Home, a new YouTube podcast focused on the decisions homeowners face throughout the life of a home; from maintenance and repairs to renovations, upgrades, and insurance-related considerations.
Produced and hosted by Dan O'Malley, the podcast features Daniel Cook, owner of Cook DFW Roofing & Restoration, as its permanent expert. The show is built around real situations homeowners regularly encounter but rarely feel prepared to handle, including:
- "I don't even know where to start."
- Sorting through competing opinions and advice
- Determining what's urgent versus what can wait
- Avoiding costly mistakes, or the wrong contractor
Across each episode, Know Your Home addresses these challenges through practical discussions on home maintenance, roofing, renovation planning, material selection, upgrade timing, and risk awareness; giving homeowners the context they need to make decisions with confidence.
The debut episode, "Top 3 Threats to Your Home," examines the most common sources of residential damage in North Texas and why homeowners are often caught off guard; not due to neglect, but because they were never shown what to watch for, which questions to ask, or how to prioritize decisions before time and pressure narrow their options.
"Homeownership carries far more responsibility than most people expect," said Cook. "Know Your Home is about helping homeowners understand what actually matters so they can make thoughtful decisions; before they're forced to react."
Each episode features conversations with builders, inspectors, and industry professionals, offering homeowners a clearer understanding of how homes age, where investment makes sense, and which upgrades truly add long-term value.
"What sets this podcast apart is its respect for the homeowner," said O'Malley. "It assumes people want to make good decisions, they just need better information and context to do it."
Know Your Home is available now on YouTube, with new episodes released regularly.
