I’m told that some guys actually enjoy Home Improvement. I personally enjoyed the TV show with Tim the tool man Taylor, but that’s where my love of Home Improvement ends. With that said, stuff breaks and it isn’t going fix itself…so here is list of resources to help you out.

If you’ve never heard of Thumbtack.com bookmark it, it’s your friend. All you do is answer a few questions about the project you need help with. It can be anything from a broken light fixture to an entire room addition. Within 24 hours you will receive up to 5 quotes from professional, local contractors. The site also has 1000’s of contractor reviews, so you can see what other people say before you hire anyone.

HomeAdvisor.com is another version.

If you’ve got time on your hands, or are feeling brave…here is a list of 10 DIY sites to help with any project.
