Craft & Home publishes practical guides for common interior renovation tasks in Canadian homes. The focus is on work that homeowners with moderate DIY experience can undertake themselves: flooring installation, drywall repair and patching, and bathroom tile updates.
Articles address the specific conditions relevant to Canadian construction — climate zone variations, pre-1985 asbestos concerns, provincial permit thresholds and the building materials commonly found in Canadian housing stock built across different decades.
What this site covers
- Laminate and hardwood flooring installation techniques
- Drywall repair from small patches to full section replacement
- Bathroom tile work — walls, floors and backsplash areas
- Permit requirements across Canadian provinces for common renovation tasks
- Material selection considerations for Canadian climate conditions
