Affiliate and referral disclosure.
HomeCostGrid may earn compensation from some outbound links or professional introductions. Those relationships do not change calculator results or editorial decisions.
Amazon Associates disclosure
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
How affiliate links work
Some product and retailer links may contain tracking parameters. If you complete a qualifying purchase, the retailer may pay HomeCostGrid a commission. We clearly identify affiliate-supported areas near the relevant links.
How paid referrals work
A professional referral offer is labeled beside the relevant link. HomeCostGrid may be paid if you follow that link or complete a qualifying introduction. Payment cannot change your estimate, confidence, evidence gaps or the order in which offers are displayed. A listing is not an endorsement, rating or guarantee that a professional will respond or be right for your project.
Referral links go directly to the participating professional's HTTPS website. HomeCostGrid does not attach your calculator inputs, address, ZIP, budget, documents or notes to the link. If you separately ask HomeCostGrid to review an introduction request, the form identifies the limited contact and service fields it collects; no provider receives them automatically.
Disclosure standard
HomeCostGrid places a plain-language commercial label close to the supported link or action. This approach follows the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's guidance that a material connection should be disclosed clearly and conspicuously. See the FTC Endorsement Guides: What People Are Asking, reviewed August 20, 2026. This explanation is not legal advice.
Editorial independence
Retailer availability and commission rates do not determine calculator outputs, cost assumptions, editorial scores, or which product is best for a particular use. Sponsored placements, if introduced, will be labeled separately.
Prices and availability
Prices, stock, delivery terms, warranties, and promotions can change. Confirm current details with the retailer before purchasing. HomeCostGrid does not scrape or guarantee retailer prices.
