Our website just keeps growing, so we wanted to take a moment and show you how to actually use it.

Homeowner HQ isn’t meant to be overwhelming or something you have to “figure out.” It’s designed to support you through a home project—whether you’re just starting to think about it or you’re already deep in decisions.

So here’s a simple, page-by-page walkthrough of what’s here and how it can help.

The Home Page: Start Here

The home page is your orientation point. It explains what Homeowner HQ is (and isn’t).

We’re not here to tell you what to build or renovate. We’re here to help you:

• Ask better questions

• Communicate more clearly with contractors and trades

• Make informed decisions without feeling intimidated

If you’ve ever felt like you should know something but didn’t know who to ask—this is for you.

The Directory: Professionals You Can Actually Trust

Instead of bookmarking websites, screenshotting Instagram profiles, or trying to remember names later, you can save professionals directly from our directory.

Designers. Builders. Landscape designers. Trades.

Our directory isn’t a list of everyone who paid to be there. Professionals can sign up, but they’re only added once a homeowner who has worked with them recommends them.

That means:

• No pay-to-play listings

• No random names

• No guessing who’s legit

Over time, this becomes a short list of people homeowners would actually hire again.

Inspiration Library: Save Ideas Without Losing the Source

Think of this like Pinterest—but connected to real professionals.

The Inspiration Library is a visual scroll of images and renderings from professionals in our directory. You can browse ideas, get inspired, and (eventually) save images while knowing who actually created the work. (saving option coming soon)

No dead ends. No wondering if the photo is even real. And certainly no ads.

Sourcebook: Products & Real Recommendations

The Sourcebook is where we collect:

• Products

• Resources

• Tools

• Services

All things that come up during real projects.

Instead of endlessly Googling or relying on sponsored lists, this is meant to be a growing, practical reference you can come back to when decisions pop up.

Resources: Checklists, Templates & Tools

The Resources page is where things get practical.

This is where you’ll find checklists, templates, and tools you can actually use during your project—things like planning guides, review checklists, and decision frameworks that help you stay organized and informed. These are the kinds of tools homeowners usually create too late… after something has already gone sideways. The goal here is to give them to you early, so you’re prepared before decisions are locked in.

The Blog: Learn Before You’re Forced To

The blog is where we break things down:

• Budget realities

• Contractor pricing

• Team roles

• Common mistakes

• Things homeowners wish they knew sooner

It’s not theory—it’s based on real projects, real conversations, and real problems that come up during builds and renovations.

Sign Up (It’s Free): What You Unlock

Starting a home project can feel overwhelming. Not because you’re incapable, but because there’s so much information coming at you all at once.

Professionals, products, inspiration, advice, decisions.

A free Homeowner HQ account is designed to give you one simple thing most homeowners are missing:

Private HQ: Deeper Support, Clearer Decisions

Private HQ is for homeowners who want more guidance and structure.

This is where you’ll find:

• Private articles

• Deeper explanations

• Practical frameworks

• Answers to questions homeowners ask behind the scenes

Side note: This is also where concepts from The Concrete Method show up—clarity, budgeting, team building, reviewing plans, and understanding what actually matters at each stage of a project. It’s about making the process feel more solid and less chaotic.

Consulting: When You Want to Talk It Through

Sometimes you don’t need another article—you need to talk to someone who understands the process.

Consulting is for homeowners who want direct guidance on their specific situation. Whether you’re reviewing plans, trying to sense-check a quote, figuring out who to hire next, or feeling stuck between decisions, this is where we work through it together. It’s not about telling you what to do—it’s about helping you ask the right questions, understand your options, and move forward with confidence instead of second-guessing.

Use What You Need, When You Need It

You don’t have to use everything at once.

Some people come for the directory.
Some come for the education.
Some just want reassurance they’re asking the right questions.

Homeowner HQ is here to meet you where you are—and grow with you as your project does.

If you ever feel unsure about where to start, start with the blog… and go from there.
