Building ConnectionsReferral Service

Disclaimer

Last updated September 24, 2026

Building Connections is a referral service operated by Mark VanDusen in Western New York. By using estimate-connections.com or our services, you agree to the terms below.

We are a referral service, not a contractor

We connect homeowners with independent contractors who may be able to help with their projects. We do not perform construction, repair, or home improvement work, and we are not a licensed contractor. Any work on your home is done by the contractor you choose, under an agreement between you and that contractor.

Contractors are independent

The contractors we refer are independent businesses. They are not our employees, agents, or partners. We do not control or supervise their work, pricing, schedules, or business practices.

We are paid by contractors

Our service is free to homeowners. We are paid by contractors for referrals and, in some cases, when a referral turns into an estimate or a completed job. This does not cost you anything extra, but you should know it exists.

Do your own homework

Before hiring any contractor, we encourage you to verify their license, insurance, and references, get written estimates, and read any contract carefully before signing. You are responsible for your decision to hire a contractor.

No guarantees

We do not guarantee or warranty any contractor's work, pricing, timeline, quality, or results. Any warranty comes from the contractor, not from Building Connections. Observations we make about your home, such as visible roof damage, are general observations, not professional inspections or assessments.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Building Connections is not liable for any damages, losses, injuries, or disputes arising from work performed by a contractor, or from your use of this website or our services. Any claim about a contractor's work must be brought against that contractor.

Website information

Information on this website is for general purposes only. We try to keep it accurate but make no promises that it is complete or current.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York.
