Who Runs This Site and How It Makes Money

Replacing the windows in a house is a small construction job with a large price range, and most homeowners meet it for the first time across a kitchen table with a company that does this every day. These pages exist to close some of that gap: what the work involves, what moves the price, what a written estimate should contain, and which local rules change the answer.

The structured data every page carries describes the site in a single sentence, and it is the same sentence we would use here: A free estimate-request service that helps US homeowners compare replacement window options and request estimates from window replacement professionals who serve their area. The second half of that sentence is not switched on. Estimate requests are closed while the arrangements behind them are finished, so nothing on this site is collecting a name, an email address or a phone number today.

A small independent publisher, working to a written set of rules that a build gate enforces rather than good intentions. Every page has to name a source for the figures it quotes, and a page that cannot be sourced does not go up.

What this page will not do is invent the rest. There is no named founder here, no photographed team, no head office and no founding year, because none of that has been verified for publication. A comparison site that fabricates its own credentials has no standing to ask you to trust its cost figures. When there is an operating entity to name, it will be named here and in the terms of use.

No — and it is not an installer, a manufacturer, a dealer or a franchise either. Nobody here measures an opening, orders a unit, pulls a permit, fits anything or carries a warranty. There is no contractor license behind this site because there is no trade being carried on.

Any company that quotes you is an independent business. It sets its own prices, holds its own license and insurance, signs its own contract with you and answers for its own workmanship. We are not owned by a window manufacturer, and no manufacturer pays for a mention on these pages.

By introductions, when it is earning at all. The intended arrangement is plain: a homeowner asks for estimates, the request reaches window replacement companies that can quote for the work, and those companies pay a fee for receiving it. Using the site costs a homeowner nothing.

None of that is happening yet. No request has been passed to any company, and no company is paying to appear here. The advertising disclosure sets out the whole arrangement, including what compensation is not allowed to touch.

• Costs are quoted, never asserted. A dollar figure appears with the publisher that produced it and the date it was read. The two large surveys in this market disagree with each other, and averaging them would manufacture a number nobody published, so where they differ both are shown.
• Requirements come from the body that sets them. Energy thresholds, rating labels, model code and permit rules are taken from the programs, councils and building departments that publish them, not from another comparison site.
• An unread source is reported as unread. When a document cannot be reached, the page says the question is open instead of filling the gap from memory. That is why some pages tell you to ask your building department rather than answering for it.
• No ratings, no testimonials, no awards. None have been collected, so none are published. A score this site did not measure is a score it cannot stand behind, and a five-star badge is the easiest thing on the internet to draw.
• Money buys no line of copy. No company can pay for a position, a mention or a kinder paragraph in anything published here.

• Give you a price for your own house. Nobody can, without measuring the openings and seeing what is behind the trim.
• Send anyone to your home, schedule a visit or handle an emergency. The contact page explains what to do instead when a window is open to the weather.
• Take an estimate request at the moment. How it works sets out the three steps the process is built around, and what each one is for.
• Hold anything about you. There is no account, no newsletter and no working form on this site; the privacy policy says exactly what that means and what would change before it changed.
