How this site is paid, stated plainly

What happens to a request

When you send a quote request, you review the companies that cover your ZIP code and service, and you tick the ones that should receive it — one by default, up to three. Your details go to exactly those companies and to nobody else.

We do not send the same request to every contractor in an area, we do not run a bidding auction, and we do not publish a directory of companies.

What we are paid

A participating company may pay us a referral fee under one of three arrangements agreed in writing: a fee for an accepted lead, a fee for an appointment that takes place, or a percentage of a completed job that the company confirms.

• The fee is paid by the company, not by you.
• We do not take a payment from you, and we do not process payments for roofing work.
• A company's fee arrangement is never described to you as a discount, a saving or a lower price.

What a fee does not buy

• It does not buy a ranking. We do not score companies against each other or display a preferred order.
• It does not buy editorial coverage. Guides are not sponsored, and we do not remove accurate criticism.
• It does not buy a guaranteed volume of requests. No company is promised a number of leads, an exclusive territory or a result.

What we do not claim

We are not a roofing contractor, we do not inspect roofs, and we do not verify licences, insurance or workmanship. A company's participation means it has agreed to receive referrals for the services and ZIP codes on file — it is not a badge of quality.

Ask any company for its licence number, certificate of insurance and a written scope before you hire. Our quote comparison guide lists the questions worth asking.

Your control over your data

You choose the recipients, you can decline every quote, and nothing obliges you to hire anyone. If you want a request corrected or removed, send the reference through the contact page. See the privacy notice for what is stored and for how long.
