The Home Improvement Time Story library includes "how to" articles for home improvement and remodeling projects, safety tips for homeowners, new home and garden product announcements, articles full of energy saving ideas, and more. Working in conjunction with industry trade associations, home improvement product manufacturers, home service providers and newspapers across North America, Home Improvement Time has endeavored to bring fresh home improvement ideas and valuable, money saving tips and information to homeowners since 1966!

If you’re in the article publishing business—whether in print or online—Home Improvement Time’s FREE feature article and news release databases are valuable resources for editorial content. All home improvement articles and images in the Story Library are available in a variety of convenient, downloadable file formats to make your job as easy as possible. Article text files are available for download in Rich Text (RTF), ASCII (TXT) and HTML formats. For articles with images, all story assets are bundled in one convenient (ZIP or SIT) archive.

Best of all, there is NO COST or obligation for use of Home Improvement Time feature articles and news releases in your publication. We simply ask that printed attributions (for hard copy publications) and live Home Improvement News and Information Center courtesy links (online applications) remain in place when stories are published.

All home improvement articles and news releases in this site’s Story Library are non-copyrighted. Use all stories in original or your edited format. First time users should browse our "terms of use" before creating an article access account. Please note that publishing privileges are only extended to family friendly publications.

A Note To Homeowners …

Lot’s of homeowners have registered on this site over the years to gain access to the many informative articles included in our Story Library. For that reason, we’ve created a special Consumer Home Improvement News and Information Center that you can browse without registering. If you like what you find, check your local newspaper. Chances are good that the information you find on this site is already available from your local newspaper, either in print or on the paper's website. Plus, your local paper often lists local sources for the home improvement products and services mentioned in each article.

If your local daily or weekly DOESN'T run Home Improvement Time articles, ask them to visit our editor's site to learn how they can add value to their publications AND convenience for their readers, all at no cost whatsoever.

In any event, enjoy your visit. And remember ... It's Home Improvement Time!
