Daily Home Renovation Tips每日家装修秘诀

I believe that a successful home renovation or remodeling effort comes from making the right decisions and being informed.我相信，一个成功的家居装修或改造的努力，来自作出正确的决定和被告知。 We came across a wonderful site recently containing feedback from actual consumers on the contractors, retailers and materials they actually used in their renovations.我们来到横跨美好的网站近日载有反馈，从实际消费者对承办商，零售商和材料，实际使用在他们的翻修。 This site should be marked as a favorite and referred to often by anyone before, during and after their own home renovation efforts.本网站应标示为最爱，并提到，往往是任何人之前，期间和之后自己的家装修的努力。

The site is该网站是 HomeStars.com homestars.com . 。

HomeStars.com provides ratings and reviews of renovators, retailers and repairman on all areas of a home. homestars.com提供评级和审查renovators ，零售商和修理工在各个领域的一个家。 It was co-founded by Nancy Peterson and Andrew E. Goodman based out of Nancy’s need to track down and find reliable contractors for her own home’s renovation project.这是共同创立的由南希彼得森和郑家富e.古德曼基于走出南希的需要，以追踪和寻找可靠的承包商为自己的主页的改造工程。 The key to Nancy was that the information be trustworthy.关键是，南希的资料，被可以信赖的。

The那个 About大约 page of HomeStars.com indicates a review process ‘ensuring that reviews are real.’ I like that.页homestars.com显示，检讨的过程中'确保评语是真正的'我喜欢这一点。

The number of categories within HomeStars.com is extensive; from Alarm Systems and Architects through to Windows and Doors.人数类别homestars.com是广泛的;从警报系统及建筑师通过，以及门窗。 With, as of the writing of this article, over 130 different categories , it is likely that any home owner and renovator can find ratings and reviews on many topics of interest to them.与，截至写作这篇文章， 有超过130个不同的类别 ，可能是任何家庭所有者和renovator可以找到收视率和评语在许多课题，他们感兴趣的。

However, one category which they did not have as of this writing  was Solar Blinds.不过，一类是他们并没有为这个写作是太阳能百叶窗。 Since I am currently investigating two different types of solar blinds in our own home, one an interior reflector and passive heat collector with the other an exterior reflector, I’ll be sure to write some product reviews of my own and ask them to add this category of energy conservation group of products.由于我目前正在调查两种不同类型的太阳能百叶窗在我们自己的家园，一个内部反射和被动热收藏家与其他外部反射，我一定会写一些产品评论我自己，并要求他们补充一点类别节约能源的产品组。

The other aspect to this site which I see as very useful is that they are currently expanding to have, for selected cities throughout North America, city specific reviews for resident renovators and repairmen.其他方面，到本网站，我所看到的非常有用的是，他们目前正在扩大到有，为选定的城市，整个北美地区，城市的具体评语为驻地renovators和修理工。 While product reviews tend to be more global in nature (with the Internet and courier delivery of products, it truly is a global village), service providers can be international, national or city specific.同时，产品评论更趋于全球性的（与互联网及速递交付的产品，它真正是一个全球村） ，服务供应商可以在国际，国家或城市的具体。 this feature for the cities to which HomeStars.com is adding coverage should be very useful indeed.此功能为城市，其中homestars.com是加入范围应是非常有益的。

How long does it take to actually record a review?需时多久，真正的纪录检讨呢？ Well, I completed reviews on three companies who provided us services during our home renovation to date.那么，我完成了评语对三家公司谁向我们提供服务的期间，我们的家装修，以日期。 All three took 5 minutes in total.所有这三个了5分钟，在总。 You grade the company you are reviewing on tow scales and then enter comments about them.你级公司，你现正检讨对丝束表，然后输入评论他们。 It’s that easy.就是这么简单。

But, do not be mislead.但是，不要被误导。 Your reviews will themselves be reviewed according to the multi-item review guidelines to ensure that your reviews can be relied upon by others.您的评论将自己的检讨，根据多项目的审查指南，以确保您的评语可以依靠别人。 And, the reviews themselves can be voted on by others as far as the review being helpful.和，评语自己可以投反对票对别人来说，检讨帮助。

Lastly, the content of the site would not be where it is without the direct contributions of ordinary folks like you and me.最后，网站的内容将不会的地方，这是没有直接的贡献，普通的乡亲一样，你和我。 So, not only is this a great resource with expanding city specific coverage but also is a place to tell others of your opinions and experiences with renovating professionals, repairman and home building products and supplies.因此，这不仅是一个伟大的资源，与扩大城市的具体的覆盖面，而且是一个地方告诉别人您的意见和经验，与装修专业人士，修理工及家居建筑产品和用品。

Like any research, do not limit yourself to just one reference source for home renovation knowledge; not HomeStars.com and not even Daily Home Renovation Tips.如同任何研究，不限制自己只是一个参考来源，家庭维修知识; homestars.com不和甚至不回家，每天翻新的秘诀。 However, spending some time with HomeStars.com could be very useful for your own home renovation activities indeed.不过，花一些时间与homestars.com可能非常有用，为自己的家装修活动。
