HomeRenovationGuide.com is pleased to take a cue from our contractors and start doing some renos of our own on the site. Beginning today, the HRG.com blog will be constantly updated, bringing you news and views from the renovation and home improvement world. With so many innovations and trends constantly coming on the market, staying informed can be difficult and more than a little intimidating. Our main blogger, Jay Somerset, has years of home reno writing experience—and quite a few DIY projects—under his belt. He knows about the subjects that matter most to you, and if not, is willing to do the research to figure them out.

So pull up a chair and make yourself at home in our home. We welcome your comments, ideas and opinions, and look forward to start building this blog together.
