Our Mission
HomeRepairBase exists to give homeowners the knowledge they need to make smart decisions about home repairs — whether that means tackling a project themselves or hiring the right professional.
We focus on the structural repairs that matter most: foundation cracks, roof damage, and basement water issues. These are the problems that cause the most stress, cost the most money, and have the biggest impact on your home's value and safety. Our goal is to demystify these repairs with clear, honest, and actionable guides.
What We Cover
Foundation Repair
Crack identification, DIY injection techniques, structural repair methods, and cost guides for every type of foundation problem.
Roof Repair
Flat roof repair, storm damage recovery, soffit and fascia fixes, commercial roofing, and leak detection guides.
Basement Waterproofing
Leak source identification, waterproofing methods, sump pump systems, and detailed cost breakdowns for every budget.
Our Editorial Process
Every guide on HomeRepairBase follows a rigorous process:
Research
We study manufacturer guidelines, building codes, and industry best practices for each repair topic.
Expert Input
Our content is informed by licensed contractors and home inspection professionals with field experience.
Practical Focus
Every guide includes step-by-step instructions, real cost estimates, tool lists, and clear advice on when to DIY vs hire a professional.
Regular Updates
We update cost data, product recommendations, and techniques annually to ensure accuracy.
How We Make Money
HomeRepairBase is an independently funded resource. We earn revenue through:
- ✓Affiliate links: When we recommend products, we may earn a commission if you purchase through our links. This never affects our recommendations — we only recommend products we'd use ourselves.
- ✓Display advertising: We run ads through Google AdSense. We keep ad placement minimal to preserve reading experience.
Our revenue model never influences our editorial content. If a DIY fix is better than a product, we'll tell you. If hiring a professional is the smarter move, we'll say that too. See our disclaimer for full details.
