Home Improve Guide can be reached by email at contact@homeimproveguide.com. Messages about calculator errors, outdated prices, broken pages and suggestions for new tools all go to the same address and are read by the person who runs the site.
Reporting a calculator error
A correction gets handled fastest when the message includes:
- The page address, such as the concrete calculator or the drywall calculator
- The inputs entered, including the unit system and any waste or region setting
- The result shown and the result expected, with the source of the expected figure if there is one
- The device and browser, for display problems
Reported figures are checked against the formula and the source listed on the methodology page. When a correction is confirmed, the shared configuration is updated and every page that uses the figure is rebuilt.
Price feedback
Local prices that sit well outside a calculator’s Low to High range are useful to hear about, especially with the state, the year of the quote and what the quote included. Price ranges are national planning figures reviewed every 3 months, and regional feedback helps keep them honest.
What the site cannot help with
Home Improve Guide does not provide contractor referrals, site visits, engineering reviews or personal quotes, and it cannot judge whether a specific bid is fair. For structural, electrical, gas or code questions on a specific property, a licensed contractor, an engineer or the local building department is the right contact.
Response time
Most messages receive a reply within a few business days. Corrections that change a figure are posted to the site as soon as they are checked.
