Write for Us Home Improvement: Home Improvement Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Home improvement content online is mostly inspiration boards and product roundups. What this blog wants is the working side: how a renovation business wins jobs, how a project stayed on budget, what a retailer learned about its customers, told by the person who did the work.

My readers run small businesses and many of them own homes, rent out property or run trades and renovation firms. They want practical lessons they can use, so a home improvement post has to come from real jobs, real quotes and real results.

60-second home improvement guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Have you done or managed the work you describe
• Do you have a real job, a cost or a before and after number
• Does your opening answer the reader's question straight away
• Have you removed any pitch for one product or company

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

• How a renovation or trades business filled its calendar, with the numbers
• A home improvement project that came in on budget, and how
• Quoting, pricing and upselling jobs without losing the customer
• Marketing a home improvement business locally, with what worked
• Flipping or upgrading a property for a better sale or rent, with the figures

If your post could be published on any home improvement site with the logo swapped, it is not for us.

What we don't accept

• Before and after galleries with no lesson
• Promotion of one product, brand or contractor
• Generic DIY tips anyone could find in a minute
• Previously published posts republished from another site

What you get

• Your article in front of an engaged audience of business owners, marketers and founders
• One relevant, contextual link back to your own site
• A byline and the credibility of an established, high-traffic blog
• Editorial help to make the piece as strong as it can be before it goes live

How to submit

Send your pitch or draft through the contact form. Include the topic, the one specific problem the post solves, and a line on your first-hand experience with it. One idea per pitch works best. You will hear back on whether it is a fit before you write the full draft.

What a strong home improvement pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about ten easy ways to refresh your kitchen this year." A strong one says "Our small renovation firm stopped losing quotes to cheaper builders when we started sending a one page photo timeline with every estimate, so I want to show the page, the win rate before and after, and the jobs it closed." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• Winning more renovation jobs
• Keeping a project on budget
• Quoting without racing to the bottom
• Local marketing for trades
• A contrarian view on open plan living

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept home improvement guest posts?

Yes. Home Improvement guest posts are welcome from writers who have done the work and can share what happened. We publish practical articles with real examples and decline before and after galleries with no lesson for the reader.

What home improvement topics do you accept?

We accept renovation and remodelling businesses, trades marketing, quoting and project management, property upgrades for sale or rent, and home improvement retail. The common thread is a specific lesson with a result attached, not a general overview.

Can I include a link back to my own site?

One contextual link back to your own site is fine when it is relevant and helps the reader. Posts written purely to build a backlink with no real value are not published.

Do you accept previously published content?

No. Every submission must be original and not published anywhere else first, including your own blog, Medium, LinkedIn, or a guest slot on another site under a different name. Republished or lightly reworded content gets declined, and we check before it goes live.

How do I submit a home improvement guest post?

Send your pitch through the contact form with the topic, the specific result or lesson you will cover, and a line on your own experience doing the work you are writing about. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before writing a full draft.

Do you accept sponsored or commercial partnerships?

Commercial and partnership enquiries are handled separately from editorial guest posts. If you are a brand or agency wanting to work together rather than pitch an article, say so in the contact form and you will get the right details back.

How long should a home improvement guest post be?

There is no fixed word count, but posts that do well here usually run from 1,000 to 1,800 words. Long enough to show the example and the numbers, short enough that a busy owner finishes it. Cut anything that repeats what the reader already knows.

What makes a home improvement pitch stand out?

A real result in the first sentence. Say what you did, what changed and over what period, then say what the reader will be able to copy. For example: Our small renovation firm stopped losing quotes to cheaper builders when we started sending a one page photo timeline with every estimate, so I want to show the page, the win rate before and after, and the jobs it closed.
