Our Commitment to Transparency

Kore Komfort Solutions LLC operates as an educational publisher focused on helping homeowners throughout the Ohio Valley region—including Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee—make informed decisions about home improvement projects. To support this mission and fund our comprehensive content creation, we participate in affiliate marketing programs and receive compensation when connecting homeowners with qualified contractors.

This disclosure explains how we earn revenue, how it affects our content, and our commitment to honest, unbiased recommendations. We believe transparency builds trust, and we want you to understand exactly how our business operates.

Amazon Associates Program

Kore Komfort Solutions is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.

What this means: When you click on an Amazon product link in our articles and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. The price you pay remains exactly the same whether you use our link or go directly to Amazon.

How we use Amazon links: We only recommend products that our network contractors have used successfully in Ohio Valley installations or that we believe would genuinely help homeowners succeed with their projects. Product recommendations are based on regional climate considerations, common home improvement challenges in our area, and real-world performance feedback from professionals we work with.

Other Affiliate Programs

In addition to Amazon Associates, we may participate in affiliate programs with other home improvement retailers, manufacturers, and service providers. These may include (but are not limited to):

• Home improvement retailers (Home Depot, Lowe’s, Menards, etc.)
• Flooring and material suppliers
• Tool and equipment manufacturers
• Home services and warranty providers
• Financing and payment processing companies
• Other affiliate networks serving the home improvement industry

Compensation structure: Affiliate programs typically pay us a commission when you click our link and make a purchase or sign up for a service. Commission rates vary by program and product category, typically ranging from 1-10% of the purchase price. You never pay more because you used our link—retailers pay us from their own marketing budgets.

Our approach: We only promote products, services, and retailers we believe offer genuine value to Ohio Valley homeowners. Our participation in an affiliate program does not influence whether we recommend a product—if a product doesn’t perform well in our region’s climate or doesn’t meet our quality standards, we won’t recommend it regardless of commission rates.

Contractor Referral & Lead Generation

Kore Komfort Solutions operates as a regional home improvement broker, connecting homeowners with vetted contractors throughout the Ohio Valley. We earn revenue from contractors when we connect them with qualified homeowners.

How contractor compensation works:

• Lead fees: Contractors may pay us a fee for qualified homeowner leads we provide
• Referral commissions: In some cases, we may earn a percentage of the project value when a referred contractor completes work
• Network membership: Some contractors pay ongoing fees to be part of our vetted contractor network

Important clarification: Homeowners never pay Kore Komfort Solutions directly. All our compensation comes from contractors, not from homeowners seeking services. You pay the contractor directly for their work at their standard rates—our referral does not increase your project costs.

Contractor vetting: Contractors in our network are selected based on licensing, insurance, customer reviews, and regional experience—not based on who pays the highest referral fees. We maintain editorial independence in our contractor recommendations and will not refer contractors who don’t meet our quality standards regardless of compensation.

Sponsored Content & Paid Partnerships

While our current content is entirely editorial and educational, we may occasionally publish sponsored content or accept compensation from manufacturers, retailers, or service providers in the future.

Our policy on sponsored content:

• All sponsored content will be clearly labeled as “Sponsored,” “Paid Partnership,” or “Advertisement”
• We will never disguise advertisements as editorial content
• Sponsored content must meet the same quality and accuracy standards as our editorial content
• We reserve the right to decline sponsorship opportunities that don’t align with our audience’s interests or our editorial standards
• Sponsorship relationships do not influence our editorial product recommendations or contractor referrals

If we receive free products for testing or review, we will disclose this relationship in the relevant content.

Our Editorial Standards

Revenue generation does not compromise our editorial integrity. Here’s how we maintain independence:

Product Recommendations

We recommend products based on:

• Performance in the Ohio Valley’s climate (humidity cycles, temperature swings, seasonal challenges)
• Feedback from contractors in our network who install these products regularly
• Durability and longevity in real-world applications
• Value for money—we prioritize homeowner outcomes over commission rates
• Suitability for the diverse housing stock common throughout Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee

We do NOT recommend products solely because they pay higher commissions. If a lower-commission product better serves our audience, we recommend it.

Contractor Referrals

Contractors earn placement in our network through:

• Proper licensing and insurance verification
• Positive customer reviews and reputation
• Experience with the Ohio Valley’s specific challenges (climate, diverse housing stock, regional building codes)
• Demonstrated expertise in their specialty areas
• Professional communication and reliable service

We do NOT refer contractors solely because they pay higher fees. Homeowner satisfaction and project quality come first.

Content Creation

Our articles and guides:

• Prioritize honest assessment of pros and cons for every option
• Include budget-friendly options even when they earn lower commissions
• Warn readers about products or approaches that don’t work well in the Ohio Valley region
• Provide enough information for readers to make informed decisions independently
• Are based on real-world experience from Ohio Valley contractors and homeowners
