The Roof Cost Guide

Affiliate & Compensation Disclosure

Last updated: May 27, 2026

The Roof Cost Guide participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means we may earn a commission when you click certain links on our site and complete an action such as requesting a quote.

Our Primary Affiliate Partner

Our primary affiliate partner is Angi (operated by Angie's List, Inc.). We are an approved publisher in their affiliate program through Commission Junction (CJ).

When you click on our quote comparison links and connect with a roofing professional through Angi, we may earn a referral commission. This is at no additional cost to you.

How We Make Money

The Roof Cost Guide is 100% free for homeowners. We generate revenue through two primary channels:

1. Affiliate Commissions

Some links on our website are affiliate links. When you click on these links and complete an action (such as requesting a quote), we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

2. Lead Generation

When you submit a roofing quote request through our website, your project information may be shared with roofing contractors or partner networks (such as Angi). These companies pay us a fee for connecting them with homeowners who are actively seeking roofing services.

What This Does NOT Affect

Our commercial relationships do NOT influence:

  • Our cost calculator results — estimates are based on material costs, labor rates, and regional data, not advertiser preferences.
  • Our editorial content — guides, comparisons, and recommendations are written to help homeowners, not to promote specific partners.
  • Material rankings or recommendations — we do not accept payment to rank one material over another.
  • Our advice — we always recommend getting 3+ independent quotes regardless of our partnerships.

Editorial Independence

Our affiliate relationships do not influence our cost estimates, editorial content, or recommendations. We are committed to providing accurate, unbiased roofing cost information.

FTC Compliance

This disclosure is provided in accordance with the FTC's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255). We are committed to transparency about our business model and funding.
