HouseFixers.org participates in affiliate advertising and affiliate programs — including the Amazon Associates Program — which are designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by linking to retailers. As home improvement professionals and long-time DIY writers, we test, evaluate, and recommend tools, materials, and services we believe will help homeowners and contractors. This disclosure explains how our affiliate relationships work and how they affect (or do not affect) the content you see.
How Affiliate Links Work
When you click an affiliate link on HouseFixers.org and make a purchase or complete a qualifying action on a partner site, we may earn a commission or referral fee. These fees are paid by the merchant and do not increase the price you pay. The affiliate tracking typically uses cookies or similar tracking technologies so that the merchant can attribute the sale to HouseFixers.org.
Programs We Participate In
- Amazon Associates: We are a participant in the Amazon Associates Program. Amazon pays us referral fees for qualifying purchases made through Amazon links on our site.
- Other Affiliate Programs: We also work with a variety of other reputable retailers, tool manufacturers, and service providers. Each partner compensates us according to their affiliate terms when purchases or sign-ups are completed via our links.
Does This Influence Our Recommendations?
Short answer: No. Our editorial independence is important. Product recommendations, how-to guides, and reviews on HouseFixers.org are created by experienced professionals and writers based on hands-on testing, industry knowledge, and practical considerations. Affiliate relationships do not determine which products we review or recommend. We strive to be honest and transparent — if an affiliate partnership affects a recommendation, we will disclose that context within the article.
What We Consider When Recommending
- Performance and reliability of the tool or product
- Value for money and long-term durability
- Safety and code compliance where applicable
- Availability and customer service from the manufacturer or retailer
Tracking, Cookies, and Data
Affiliate links may set cookies or pass tracking parameters to confirm that a purchase originated from HouseFixers.org. These tracking mechanisms are managed by the partner merchants. We do not receive or store your full payment information. For details on how a merchant handles data, please consult that merchant’s privacy policy.
Transparency and Trust
We value your trust. If a merchant or product provides us with free samples, discounts, or special access, we will note that in the article. Our goal is to help you make informed decisions for your home projects — whether it’s choosing the right power drill, selecting roofing materials, or hiring a contractor. Affiliate commissions help support the site’s ongoing testing, reporting, and maintenance so we can keep producing useful, unbiased home improvement content.
Thank you for supporting HouseFixers.org. Your clicks and purchases through our affiliate links help keep our resources available and up to date for homeowners and professionals alike.
