Around C&C Unlimited, we love a good house project! We’ve been working with homeowners in the Albany, NY area for over 20 years, on everything from mold removal to asbestos abatement to selective demolition. And we have all the respect in the world for passionate homeowners who don’t mind rolling up their sleeves and tackling a DIY project. 

But for the longest time, if you were taking on a home project you had to go to the bookstore or library to do your research and get inspiration. Lucky for us, thanks to the internet, there’s no shortage of great blogs chock full of helpful info for the home DIY’er. 

Check out our top 5 home improvement blogs to help you with your next project!

THIS OLD HOUSE

An oldie but a goodie, you can’t beat the sheer volume and scope of projects This Old House covers. This Old House started as a TV program on PBS 40 years ago and still holds its own in the world of home improvement and design. You can’t beat its library of free tutorials!

REMODELAHOLIC

 The genius of Remodelaholic is that it’s reader sourced! Readers submit their remodel projects with detailed instructions, so every DIY idea on this blog has genuinely been executed by a regular homeowner like yourself! We especially love the Before & After galleries, plus the way content is easily divided by room so you can quickly and easily find what you’re looking for. 

 ESSENTIAL HOME & GARDEN

This blog is like an encyclopedia of home improvement projects! Not only does Essential Home & Garden offer an array of DIY projects, it also has plenty of content on home and garden maintenance.

 HOME TIPS

 Home Tips is another OG home improvement blog. Around since 1997, Home Tips has a practically dizzying array of DIY project articles. Thankfully, everything is neatly categorized from drop-down menus at the top of the homepage so you can easily navigate to what you need!

 APARTMENT THERAPY

Don’t be fooled by the name — Apartment Therapy is for more than just apartment-dwelling-city-slickers. This blog is perfect for anyone looking to remodel or decorate spaces on a small scale. And if you’re looking for design inspiration, Apartment Therapy is full of Pinterest-worthy eye candy!
