About FairRoofQuote
FairRoofQuote is an independent website that helps homeowners get free quotes from local roofers through our matching partner, Networx. We don't do roofing work ourselves, we're not affiliated with any contractor or roofing brand, and we don't have a preferred provider we steer people toward. Our job is to get you connected with local contractors who compete for your business, and to give you the information you need to make a good decision before and after you get those quotes.
What FairRoofQuote is and how it works
FairRoofQuote is a lead generation site. When a homeowner submits a quote request through the form on this site, that request is passed to Networx, our lead matching partner. Networx matches the request with up to 3 local contractors, licensed where the state requires it, who cover the homeowner's area and job type. Those contractors then contact the homeowner directly. For a more detailed walkthrough of each step, see the how it works page.
FairRoofQuote earns a referral fee from Networx when a qualifying request is submitted. That fee is paid by Networx, not by the homeowner, and it has no effect on what contractors charge or which contractors are matched. We have no financial relationship with any individual contractor on the Networx network and no stake in which contractor a homeowner chooses, or whether they hire anyone at all.
The guides and content on this site, covering roof lifespans, replacement costs, the repair vs replacement decision, what to look for in a roofing estimate, are written independently of any contractor or brand. That content exists to help homeowners understand what they're dealing with before they talk to a contractor, not to push them toward any particular outcome.
A straight answer on incentives: we make money when homeowners submit quote requests. That creates an incentive to make this site useful enough that people want to use it. We think that's a better alignment than a model where we earn more if you hire a specific contractor or choose a more expensive material. It's not a perfect arrangement, but it's an honest one.
Our editorial process
The guides on this site are written to answer the questions homeowners have before and during a roofing job, in plain language and with real numbers. Cost ranges come from published cost data and are checked against more than one source. Rules that differ by state, such as licensing, deductibles, claim deadlines and permits, come from the statute, regulator or city office that sets them, and each page links to that source so you can check it yourself.
Every guide shows the date it was last updated. We revise pages when prices, laws or insurance rules change, and when we find something we got wrong.
Who writes this: FairRoofQuote isn’t a roofing company and doesn’t have a roofer reviewing each page. We think it’s better to say that plainly than to claim credentials you can’t check. That’s why the guides link to their sources, and why tax, legal and insurance questions are pointed to a professional who can look at your situation.
Why being independent matters for a site like this
Most roofing content online is written by contractors trying to win local business, by aggregators who earn more when you hire a specific contractor, or by content operations that have never seen a roof in person. In each case the incentive structure shapes what gets written, what gets emphasized, and what gets left out.
FairRoofQuote earns the same referral fee regardless of which contractor you choose, which material you pick, or whether you decide on repair or replacement. We have no contractor relationships that would make us inclined to push metal roofing over asphalt, or recommend replacement when repair is the honest answer. The goal is to be genuinely useful at the point when a homeowner is trying to make a significant financial decision about their home.
That doesn't mean we have no interests in the matter. We do. We make money when people submit quote requests, which means we have an interest in being useful enough that people want to. But we don't make more money if you choose one contractor over another, spend more on your roof, or take any particular action after you get your quotes. That's the independence that matters here.
Our relationship with Networx
Networx, Inc. is our lead matching partner. They operate the quote request forms embedded on this site, maintain the contractor network, and handle the matching process. When you submit a form on FairRoofQuote, your information goes directly to Networx. FairRoofQuote does not independently receive, store, or manage your contact details. For full details on how your information is handled, see our privacy policy.
Networx screens contractors before admitting them to its network. It's an established lead generation and contractor network operating across most of the US, and we work with them because their screening and network coverage suited what we were trying to build for homeowners. We don't check roofers ourselves, so it's still worth confirming a roofer's license and insurance before you hire. That's the extent of the relationship: they run the matching and contractor side, we provide the content and the front end that homeowners come through.
