Handy Man For US publishes practical home-improvement, repair, maintenance, tool, and hiring guidance for U.S. homeowners. We welcome original contributions from experienced DIYers, tradespeople, subject-matter professionals, and writers. If you can explain a job clearly, accurately, and without promotion, we want to hear your idea. Below are the topics we consider, our editorial standards, and how to pitch us.

Decisions
Our readers come looking for useful answers before they repair, maintain, buy, or hire. A strong contribution puts your expertise inside that decision, not beside it. We favor specific, experience-backed work that explains what matters, cites reliable sources when needed, and leaves homeowners better prepared to act safely and confidently.
Step-by-step repair or installation guidance grounded in work you have actually completed and can explain.
Practical tool advice that explains use cases, tradeoffs, compatibility, safety, and ownership considerations.
Seasonal upkeep that prevents problems, plans ahead, and protects the home.
Clear boundaries for homeowner-level work, plus practical signs that a qualified professional should take over when needed.
Start-to-finish accounts that show planning, materials, key decisions, lessons learned, and realistic homeowner takeaways clearly.
Plain-English breakdowns of features, specifications, tradeoffs, and buying factors that change a decision.
Our standards are straightforward. We want original work that helps a homeowner make or complete a real decision. Meet these basics, and your pitch is much easier to evaluate quickly.
Send work you created for us, not recycled, scraped, or copied elsewhere.
Write for a homeowner facing the job. Limits, concrete choices, and useful details beat generalities.
Support factual claims, disclose relevant relationships, and include only links that genuinely help the reader directly.
We do not sell links, rankings, or guaranteed publication. Every contribution is an editorial decision. Send a clear pitch below, and we will review whether the idea fits our U.S. homeowner audience and current coverage.
Give us detail to understand the idea and why you’re right for it:
Use the pitch form below or our contact page. Include your topic, relevant experience, and writing samples. If the idea fits, an editor will reply with questions or next steps.
Astrong pitch is short and specific. Tell us the homeowner problem, your angle, and why you’re equipped to cover it. Add relevant writing samples if you have them. A draft is welcome, but you do not need one to pitch.
Every submission gets an editorial review. Here is the usual path from a pitch to a published contribution.
An editor first checks fit, originality, usefulness, evidence needs, and your relevant experience.
If accepted, we refine the piece with you, verify key claims, and prepare publication details.
