MyHomeMag is a practical home magazine for US homeowners. Our editorial team is a small team of home-maintenance writers and researchers. Articles are credited to the MyHomeMag Editorial Team.
How we choose topics
We cover exterior home improvement, construction and building, home repairs, appliance guides, outdoor construction and systems, and home systems and upkeep. We choose topics based on common homeowner projects, seasonal maintenance needs, and questions our readers send us through the contact form. We do not cover interior design or decorating.
How our guides are written
Every guide is researched before publication and written in plain English. Our guides are built around real costs, simple checklists, and clear steps you can actually follow. Where a guide makes a factual claim — about how a system works, a safety requirement, or a cost range — it is checked against its source before publication. See our Fact-Checking Policy.
Costs are estimates
Any prices, cost ranges, or budgets in our guides are estimates for planning purposes, not quotes. Actual costs vary by region, materials, contractor, and the condition of your home. Get a written quote for your project before you commit.
Safety and professional work
Our guides are informational. They are not a substitute for professional advice. For safety-critical work — gas lines, electrical panels and high-voltage wiring, structural repairs, roofing at height, and anything involving local building codes or permits — hire a licensed professional. When a guide tells you to call a professional, that advice is part of the guidance, not an afterthought.
Editorial independence
Our editorial content is independent of our advertising. Advertisers and sponsors do not review, approve, or influence our guides. See our Advertising Policy.
