ProBuildPicks is free to read. Some links on the site may be affiliate links.
If you click an affiliate link and make a qualifying purchase, ProBuildPicks may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. The retailer, network or partner—not the reader—pays that commission.
What Affiliate Relationships Do Not Change
- We do not accept payment to move a product higher in a ranking.
- A commission rate does not determine which product we recommend.
- A brand relationship does not guarantee positive coverage.
- When we have installed, used or tested a product, we say so. When we have only researched it, we say that too.
- Manufacturer claims remain manufacturer claims; they are not presented as independent ProBuildPicks test results.
Product Samples and Partnerships
Manufacturers, retailers and industry partners may provide information, samples or partnership opportunities. If a material commercial relationship is relevant to a review or recommendation, we aim to disclose it clearly. Receiving a sample does not guarantee coverage, a favorable review or a specific ranking.
How Recommendations Are Made
Recommendations are based on the evidence available for the product and the project: firsthand jobsite experience when applicable, current manufacturer documentation, warranty terms, installation requirements, cost, availability, maintenance and other practical tradeoffs.
Our review methodology explains the difference between installed, used on jobs, tested, researched and manufacturer information. Our Editorial Standards explain how commercial relationships are kept separate from editorial judgment.
