About The American Home Magazine

A better way to start a home project

The American Home Magazine was created to make the remodeling process easier to understand and easier to navigate.

Planning a renovation can quickly become overwhelming. Homeowners are often left trying to figure out what a project should cost, which contractor they can trust, what questions they should ask, and where to begin.

We believe homeowners should have better information before making important decisions about their home.

That is why The American Home Magazine combines remodeling education, project guidance, and connections to licensed local contractors in one place.

What we do

We help homeowners planning projects such as:

  • Kitchen Remodeling
  • Bathroom Remodeling
  • ADUs
  • Full Home Remodeling
  • Room Additions
  • Roofing
  • Outdoor Living Projects

Our service currently focuses on homeowners throughout Los Angeles, Orange County, and the San Fernando Valley.

When a homeowner tells us about a project, our team follows up to better understand the project type, scope, approximate budget, location, and timing.

From there, we help the homeowner better understand the next steps and connect them with licensed local contractors whose services may fit the project.

More than a contractor directory

The American Home Magazine is designed to be more than a list of contractor names.

Our goal is to help homeowners make more informed decisions throughout the remodeling process.

Through our cost guides, remodeling articles, contractor education, and project support, we provide useful information on topics such as:

  • Typical project costs
  • Planning and budgeting
  • Questions to ask a contractor
  • Comparing estimates
  • Understanding project scope
  • Preparing for the remodeling process

We want homeowners to feel more informed before they decide who to hire.

How contractor connections work

We verify contractor licenses before making contractor connections through our network.

When a homeowner submits project information, that information may be shared with participating licensed contractors whose services may be relevant to the project.

A project may be shared with more than one contractor.

Those contractors may then contact the homeowner directly to discuss the project.

Our business model

The American Home Magazine is free for homeowners to use.

Participating contractors may pay The American Home Magazine for homeowner leads and project opportunities.

This allows us to provide homeowners with educational content, project guidance, and contractor connections without charging homeowners for the matching service.

Our approach

Our approach is built around four things:

Useful Information

Clear remodeling guides, planning resources, and cost education.

Licensed Contractor Connections

Connections with local contractors whose licenses we verify.

Project Guidance

Helping homeowners clarify their project scope, budget, timing, and next steps.

Follow-Up Support

Following up after the initial contractor connection and helping homeowners better understand their options.

Our goal

Our goal is simple:

Help homeowners make more informed remodeling decisions and connect with licensed local contractors who may be a good fit for their project.

Whether someone is just beginning to research a renovation or is ready to speak with contractors, The American Home Magazine is designed to be a helpful starting point.
