Funding & Relationships
You cannot judge information without knowing who paid for it. Here is who pays for CRI — completely.

How CRI makes money
CRI is sustained by referral relationships. When a reader independently decides they need commercial roofing services and asks to be connected, we may refer that opportunity to a vetted commercial roofing contractor. If the contractor engages that customer, CRI may receive a referral fee.
At launch, referrals go to an established commercial roofing contractor with decades of field experience. The specific relationships in effect are listed below and kept current under this policy.
Current relationships
Commercial Roofing Intel and Victory E&I Roofing and Construction LLC share common ownership. This is not hidden. It is disclosed on this page, on our assessment request form, and in every assessment report.
Commercial Roofing Intel is independently operated. If a reader requests a roof assessment through this website, that request is currently referred to Victory E&I Roofing. Commercial Roofing Intel may receive compensation from completed projects. This relationship does not influence our editorial standards, recommendations, or published content.
This relationship is exactly why this page exists. You deserve to know who funds the information you're relying on. Our editorial standards, comparison methodology, and corrections process apply with full force regardless of any ownership connection.
The firewall
- Referral partners have no access to editorial content before publication and no ability to request changes to it.
- No article, guide, tool, or dataset is created to benefit a referral partner.
- Editorial staff compensation is independent of referral revenue.
- Educational pages do not contain sales prompts. Where a referral option exists, it is clearly labeled and separate from editorial content.
What CRI does not accept
- Payment for coverage, rankings, reviews, or placement in comparisons.
- Sponsored content presented as editorial.
- Manufacturer or contractor funding contingent on favorable treatment.
