Terms of Use

Last updated: October 2026

1. Informational purposes only. Content on Renovation Guide HQ is general information for US homeowners, not professional advice. Renovation involves real safety, structural, and legal risks. Always consult licensed contractors, engineers, and your local building department before starting work. Reading this site does not create a professional or advisory relationship between you and Renovation Guide HQ.

2. Estimates are not quotes. Cost ranges on this site are planning estimates compiled from published national data. Your actual costs will vary by region, home condition, material choices, and contractor. Always get at least three itemized local quotes before signing a contract, and treat any figure here as a budgeting aid — not a price commitment from anyone.

3. DIY safety. Some projects described here are dangerous or illegal to DIY (electrical, gas, structural, asbestos/lead abatement). Attempt them only with qualified professionals. You assume all risk for work you perform, including permits, inspections, and code compliance. A guide describing a project step is not a statement that it is safe or lawful for you to perform it yourself.

4. No warranties. We work to keep information accurate and current, but we make no guarantees of completeness or correctness, express or implied. Prices and codes change. This site and its content are provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind.

5. External links. Links to retailers and manufacturers are provided for convenience; we don’t control their content, pricing, availability, or privacy practices, and following them is at your own risk. A link is not an endorsement unless we explicitly say so.

6. Intellectual property. The text and design of this site are the property of Renovation Guide HQ unless otherwise noted. You may link to our pages and quote brief excerpts with clear attribution and a link back. You may not republish full articles or present our content as your own.

7. Limitation of liability. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Renovation Guide HQ is not liable for damages arising from use of this site or any renovation work undertaken based on its content, including property damage, personal injury, or financial loss.

8. Acceptable use. You agree not to misuse this site — including disrupting it, burdening it with automated access, or using its content for unlawful purposes.

9. Governing law. These terms are governed by the laws of the United States.

10. Changes. We may update these terms at any time; continued use of the site means you accept the current version. The “Last updated” date above shows when the current version took effect.
