About

BuildCompared is run by Juan Cruz, an independent publisher who builds data-first reference sites.

Most "x vs y" pages about building materials are written by contractors, manufacturers or stores, each with something to sell. BuildCompared puts the published numbers side by side instead: warranty terms, wind and impact ratings, code requirements and test results, each linked to the document it comes from.

We do not install, test or sell any product, and no manufacturer pays for placement. If we add affiliate links in the future, they will be labeled on the page.
