About HomeKnack

HomeKnack was founded by Jeff Yates — a construction and remodeling professional with more than 25 years of hands-on building experience. The site exists to close the gap between what homeowners are told and what renovation projects actually cost and require. Every budget figure, product recommendation, and hiring guide comes from real project experience, not marketing copy.

After decades of building and renovating, Jeff saw that homeowners consistently made expensive decisions based on incomplete or inaccurate information. HomeKnack is the resource he wished existed — written for people making real decisions about real projects, with real money on the line.
