Transparency first
BuildMate is free to use. To keep it that way we sometimes participate in affiliate programs and lead-referral partnerships with retailers, contractor networks and service providers.
What that means
If you click a link on BuildMate and go on to purchase a product or request a quote, we may earn a commission or referral fee at no additional cost to you. This is standard practice across the home-improvement web.
Our promise
Affiliate relationships never change our editorial coverage. We recommend tools, materials and services because they perform well in real projects — not because they pay the highest commission. Any calculator estimates, formulas and cost figures are independent of any commercial partner.
Sponsored content
If a piece of content is sponsored or paid, it will be clearly labeled at the top of the page as “Sponsored” or “Paid partnership.”
Lead forms
Our “Get 3 Free Quotes” forms send your information to vetted contractor networks so they can provide quotes for your project. Submitting a form is optional, and your details are handled per our Privacy Policy.
Programs we participate in
These may include, but are not limited to, the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, Home Depot Affiliate Program, HomeAdvisor / Angi Leads and other manufacturer or retailer programs.
