The Home Renovation Blog is an editorial publication for first-time homeowners. Founded in 2019 by editor Maya Ellsworth, it publishes patient, beginner-friendly renovation guides written by editors who have completed each project in their own homes. The publication is independently owned, runs no display advertising, and is read weekly by twenty-four thousand homeowners across forty-six states.

"A pleasant rebuttal to the 200-piece-toolkit school of YouTube renovation."
"Written by people who clearly own the houses they're writing about."
"Quietly the most useful homeowner resource of the last five years."
