How We Make Money
The Home Service Guide is a free site for homeowners. We earn revenue when a homeowner submits a quote request and is matched with a licensed local contractor from our partner network. Our partners pay a per-lead fee for verified, opted-in quote requests.
This means: when you submit a quote form on our site, your information is shared with one or more licensed contractors in our network who serve your area. Those contractors contact you with quotes for the project you indicated interest in.
What This Doesn't Affect
Our editorial content - state pillar pages, blog posts, cost guides, FAQs - is researched independently. We do not accept payment for editorial placements, brand mentions, or product endorsements. If a specific product or brand is referenced in our content, it's because we determined it was relevant editorially.
Affiliate Disclosure
Some external links on this site (to manufacturer pages, federal program pages, or industry resources) may be affiliate links. When this is the case, we attempt to indicate it inline. Affiliate revenue, when it exists, does not influence editorial selection.
Your Data and Consent
When you submit a quote form, you consent to be contacted by The Home Service Guide and our contractor partners using the contact details you provide. Standard message/data rates apply. You can opt out at any time by replying STOP to texts or unsubscribing from emails. See our Privacy Policy for complete data handling details.
