## [How to Find the Best Professional House Painters in Your Area](https://blog.puls.com/professional-painters-near-me)

According to leading real estate experts, adding a fresh coat of paint to the interior or exterior of your home is a simple, cost-effective way to improve the aesthetics and value of your property—or is it?

## [Recessed Lighting Installation Cost: What's a Fair Price?](https://blog.puls.com/recessed-lighting-installation-cost)

If you’ve ever seen a renovation television show in the last five years, you know that recessed lighting has been a big trend in kitchen and bathroom design. Recessed lighting—or downlights as they are also known—are lights that are installed right in the ceiling (in other words, they don’t hang down).

## [How to Find a Good Handyman You Can Trust](https://blog.puls.com/how-to-find-a-good-handyman)

Despite what you may hope, watching repeated episodes of “Property Brothers” doesn’t exactly make you an expert in home repair or renovation. For those of us who are not the handiest or DIY savvy, it’s a necessity to hire someone to tackle projects like changing light fixtures, painting the walls, or installing an appliance.

## [Furniture Assembly Services: Which is Right for You?](https://blog.puls.com/furniture-assembly-services)

Furniture assembly for IKEA products is such a nightmare that it’s become something of a running joke these days. Some people even blame IKEA for ending their relationships—and while we suspect they may have had their problems to begin with, a little part of us can’t help but wonder whether a company that puts out products with names like PÖANG and EKTORP might not have a bit of a sadistic streak.

## [Laminate Flooring Installation Cost: What's a Fair Price?](https://blog.puls.com/laminate-flooring-installation-cost)

Choosing the right floor material for each room in your home is a huge decision. A popular choice that has proven to be attractive, durable, and reasonably priced is laminate.

## [The Best Living Room Design Ideas for a Functional and Beautiful Space](https://blog.puls.com/living-room-design-ideas)

Oftentimes, in the living room, we’re forced to pick between a trendy design and a functional space. Gone are the days of covering the furniture with plastic to protect it and saving the living room only for "company," but now we’re faced with a different challenge. How do we make our living rooms feel trendy, kid-friendly, functional, and enjoyable at the same time?

## [Give Your Bathroom a Fresh Look With Tile Stickers](https://blog.puls.com/bathroom-tile-stickers)

Is your current bathroom tile not exactly what you would consider for your dream bathroom? Whether it’s permanently stuck in the 80s with a frosted tile shower door—or the floor and shower tile are a particularly repugnant shade of green and yellow, you’re likely looking at a hefty cost to remove and replace it.

## [What Can a Handyman Do? (Here's a List of Handyman Services)](https://blog.puls.com/what-can-a-handyman-do)

There are plenty of things that are hard to get a hold of in 2019 – telephone books, Beanie Babies, teenagers who don’t lump Britney Spears into the “oldies” category. And, until recently, it may have felt like it was just as tough to find capable handyman services today. We’re about as passionate about technology as anyone, but even we get nostalgic every once in a while wondering if knowing one’s way around a toolbox is a lost art.

## [Frigidaire Refrigerator Repair: Best Companies in Your Area](https://blog.puls.com/frigidaire-refrigerator-repair-near-me)

You've probably heard that before the invention of the modern refrigerator, large blocks of ice stored in wooden iceboxes were used to keep food cold. While effective, it definitely wasn’t a convenient way to keep your food fresh. Luckily, Frigidaire developed the very first electric self-contained refrigerator in 1918, called the Frigerator, and turned the appliance industry upside down.

## [How to Choose the Best Entryway Bench for Your Home](https://blog.puls.com/entryway-bench-for-your-home)

While your new home's curb appeal is crucial to creating a good first impression on the outside, your entryway provides your guests with their first glimpse of the inside. Adding a bench to this space will give visitors and family members an opportunity to easily remove shoes and boots as they step through the door, while also showcasing your design aesthetic.

So you’ve purchased a new Nest cam and are raring to get it up and going. First off, pat yourself on the back. You’ve made a great choice – the Nest cam is unbeatable when it comes to keeping an eye on your home’s security from anywhere in the world, and has a laundry list of smart capabilities including sending alerts directly to your phone, and even allowing to you talk and listen to people at home via the camera’s mic and speaker system.

## [TV Mounting Kit: Do You Need it and Where to Get It?](https://blog.puls.com/tv-mounting-kit)

Mounting your television is a great way to avoid the expense of an entertainment system (and not to mention, a way to save a whole bunch of space in your living area). And although it would be nice to just hammer a couple of nails in on the wall and hang your flat screen television like a large picture, it unfortunately doesn’t work that way—or if it does, it won’t be too long before the television comes crashing down onto the floor.

## [The Puls National Appliance Repair Report 2019: Affordability, Reliability, & Seasonality](https://blog.puls.com/appliance-repair-report)

Today Puls is publishing its first annual National Appliance Repair Report, with the goal of educating consumers on how much they should pay for appliance repairs and when they should expect to repair or replace a major appliance. The report also includes recommendations from our nationwide network of technicians about which appliance brands are most reliable and easy to use. In developing the report, we used our proprietary data to unearth insights for consumers.
