Website Provides Answers to Common Household Repair Questions

Palo Alto, CA, March 12, 2007 --(PR.com)-- How often has something broken in your home and you didn’t know how to fix it, so you just let it go? You could pay to have it fixed, but you figured it would cost too much or it was too much trouble. Maybe you planned to fix it, but you just never got around to it because you weren’t quite sure how to do it. Well, now there is help for do-it-yourselfers of every experience level.

AcmeHowTo.com is a website which provides detailed articles describing how to diagnose and make repairs around the home. AcmeHowTo provides step-by-step instructions for common household repairs like replacing a light switch, changing a door knob and unclogging drains and toilets.

Acme’s most popular section is the major appliance repair category. People around the world use Acme’s repair guides to repair everything from washing machines to garbage disposers. “Major appliances are intimidating to most people. But, in fact, there are many things in our appliances that are pretty easy to fix ourselves” stated Grant Anderson, co- founder of AcmeHowTo.com. “The average homeowner has the skills to fix many of the most common problems. Anytime you can avoid a service call from a technician, you save at least $50.” He goes on to say, “We have found that most people who want to make their own repairs, usually can. Often they are just missing some key information or the confidence to try. AcmeHowTo.com is all about providing that key piece of information and encouragement.”

The site covers a variety of topics including appliances, electrical, plumbing, gardening and it even offers some coverage of PCs and home theater. Maybe best of all though, if you can’t find the answer you are looking for, Acme has a very responsive forum where you can post your question. Moderators and other readers quickly respond with helpful information and solutions to your problems.

Not satisfied to cover just household repairs, Grant Anderson revealed that Acme is set to launch a sister website named AcmeDIY.com in April 2007. The new site provides home improvement guides to assist and motivate do-it-yourselfers to take on improvement projects around their home. For those not inclined to do their own work, the site provides information on how to hire a contractor and explains the process and what to expect when work begins.
