We are constantly searching for valuable resources to add to our site and part of that search is links to home repair and home improvement blogs. We especially like sites that have good do-it-yourself sections that really walk you through a repair. Here is our current list of sites (which is still growing so check back):
| Main Site | Blog Description |
| http://www.handymanfixhomerepair.com | This is a great blog that goes into a decent amount of detail on hundreds of home repairs and projects. If you are thinking of starting a project around the house this is a good first stop to get ideas whether it is a wiring project or any other type of home repair. Their home repair glossary really comes in handy for the average Joe. |
| http://www.middleburgmillwork.com | This site has a lot of general household tips and explains everything from simple repairs to tips on understanding thread counts in sheets and other interesting facts. We especially like their energy saving tips as they can really save you money over the long haul. |
| http://www.mastermylist.com | Based in Cincinnati they have some interesting blog articles ranging from very helpful tips from their master craftsman to fun topic like Duct Tape is For MacGyver, Not Pipes! We think this is another one of those sites that every home owner should bookmark. The blog is well put together and an interesting read. |
| http://www.reliableremodeler.com/blog/ | ReliableRemodeler has a bunch of features on their main site, but we actually really find their blog more useful. They have some excellent advice and put together a really interesting home repair kit. You should take a look at this blog even if it is just to see what they recommend for their home repair kit. Plus, if you get stuck and want to get some help from a professional you can hook up with a contractor on their main site. |
| http://blog.managemyhome.com/ | So we are always hesitant to add sites from major retailers like Sears, but this one is relevant for a couple of reasons. It is not off of their main site and it genuinely has good content like to do lists and tons of manuals for their products. Actually, it is the accessibility of this information which gets them on our list. |
| http://www.repair-home.com/blog/ | This is another complete resource for home owners which includes some great home repair advice. We of course have already sent their article on Christmas gifts for home improvement gurus. They do cover a lot of interesting gadgets. If you are looking for home repair tips I would go someplace else but if you want to read up on improving the value of your home and topics like that then this is a good blog to bookmark. |
| http://homeimprovementblog.net/ | This blog has been around since 2006 and is one that you will most likely come across if you search for home repairs on Google. We will let you skip straight to the good stuff (their How To section). We think that they have put together a pretty good list of HowTo’s from how to hire a contractor to fixing your garbage disposal. |
| http://homerepair.about.com/ | Bob Formisano has a section on About.com which is really useful with good diagrams on different types of repairs. This is a good resource for simple Electrical, Plumbing, and Heating & Cooling jobs. I have to admit that those are some expensive repair areas if you have to call a contractor so it’s good to get at least some information from this site if you have a problem with one of those major systems. |
