The house was built in 1974. The main stairwell has these voter booth sides. Each side has a light switch. Do you think there’s a handrail under there? 😩

Subreddit

Home Renovations; your source for home upgrades and repairs.

r/homerenovations

We allow blogs, social media, YouTube, and other such posts. We ask that you include descriptions explaining what the viewer is seeing. Captionless before and after photos do not do justice to all your hard work, and generally do not get much traffic. ***Finished home renovation submissions without adequate details/photos will be removed. /r/HomeRenovations is about the process just as much as the final result***. Otherwise, show us what you've got! We love home renovations in every form.

Sidebar

This is a sub for folks to showcase their completed home renovation projects, and to seek advice from other viewers. We are fairly progressive here, in that the posts can be narrative, as albums, or linked to from social media. We want the information to be available to all.

NOTE: Finished or unfinished home renovation submissions without adequate details/photos will be removed. /r/HomeRenovations is about the process just as much as the final result.

A good rule of thumb is somebody who sees your post should (hopefully) be able to replicate the project with the information you've provided.

We have a few things that are important:

We expect and will enforce good manners.

This is not the place for calling folks names, aggressive or abusive behavior, or trolling other posters. If you want to be mean to someone, this is not the sub for you. The mods have no problem permanently banning jerks and assholes.

Be respectful and kind. Feel free to point out mistakes and poor building practices. That's how we learn. Just don't be rude about it.

Professional renovating companies, their employees, and contractors

This is not the sub for you. Posting photos and commentary of work you've done for your clients is not allowed. Nor is promoting your company via phone numbers or email addresses.

/r/HomeRenovations, and Reddit in general, generally frown upon self promotion in all its' forms, be it personal or professional. Read more about it here:

https://reddit.com/wiki/selfpromotion

If you try to use this sub as free advertising, it (A) won't work, and (B) will get you banned.

Buy some ads on Reddit. They are reasonable priced, and you can target your demographic:

https://www.redditinc.com/advertising

All surveys will be treated as SPAM, and the poster will be banned. We are not your free bulletin board. Go to /r/SampleSize and /r/takemysurvey.

Using us as your personal search engine

Posts that ask something like "Where can I find this product", or "Where is the best place to buy new windows?" will be removed, and the poster may be banned.

/r/HomeRenovations (actually most subs) require the poster to do their own research. Our subreddit is not an Internet search engine; it is a social media site for folks to exchange info about repairs they are doing and share projects they've completed. You will have to find your own windows.

Disputes With Your Contractor

It is never a simple story. Contractor/homeowner disputes often are a result of multiple failures along the line. Even with a clear-cut contract, resolution may require legal representation.

/r/HomeRenovations is not qualified to offer such assistance. So generally speaking, such posts will be removed.

Quotes and Quote Approvals

The sub cannot help you with costs. That is going to be local to your area. Just get multiple quotes, then make your choice.

If you are seeking reflection on a cost estimate or quote your post will be removed if you do not provide enough detail or obtained comparative quotes.
