Home Improvement

Home Improvement

This category contains sites which assist with repairing, remodelling, and redecorating of the home. This includes not only its walls and rooms, but the contents within, like appliances and furniture. Sites are geared towards those with a do-it-yourself attitude, as well as those who would like to learn more before hiring someone to do it for them. This category does not include sites which sell goods and services online (Shopping: Home and Garden), sites for businesses that design or manufacture products (Business: Construction and Maintenance), or sites offering advice for purchasing decisions (Home: Consumer Information).
