We’ve just unveiled a new Home Remodeling & Improvement Guide with one purpose in mind: To help you get the easiest-to-use and most complete listing of the products and projects that can improve your home’s safety, livability and value.

Working from the top down, In the Spotlight collects six of the strongest seasonal recurring features, such as videos of the hottest products from the International Builders’ Show and our recently updated ratings of interior paints and flooring. To let you better undertake (and understand) both basic and more challenging projects, we’ll be posting Tips of the Day, Weekend Projects, Buzzwords, and 10 Questions for . . . interviews with remodeling experts.

Directly underneath the In the Spotlight box is an interactive home tour (shown) that lets you view all our product ratings and project plans for a every room in the house. Below that, you’ll find our latest videos, which provide quick and vivid summaries of our product testing.

More interaction is on tap via our Community box, which links to our forums on kitchen and bathroom remodeling, paints and stains, and a very active discussion of heating, cooling, and air-conditioning products.

Essential information: Our Kitchen-Planning Guide and Energy Saving & Green Living hub provide a similarly empowering summary of our features on those topics.
