Welcome to Jon Eakes.com

• Can’t find a clear answer to your Home Maintenance or Home Improvement problem?
• Three contractors later and it still leaks?
• No one agrees on what to do?
• Your problem doesn’t seem to have a solution?

You probably landed here because you are looking for answers to home improvement and maintenance questions.

There is a lot of information on the web:

• Is it reliable?
• Does it apply to your climate?
• Does it apply to your house?

Even contractor recommendations can be conflicting. Who’s right?

With the labour shortage, it might be that you can’t even find a contractor who is free to handle your job so you need to hire workmen/women who might not know the whole picture and you need to take charge, or even Do-It-Yourself. People in this situation often use me as their Renovation Coach.

With my passion for detail and clarity, since 1996 this website is dedicated to answering all these questions, helping you to get the information you need in the way you want to receive it – all with my experience of renovating, consulting and teaching for well over 40 years.
