Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

Free app for iPad and Web features thousands of photos of home improvement projects, as well as localized estimates for project costs.

Zillow Digs, the real estate aggregator's new app for home improvement information.

Online real estate listing aggregator Zillow launched an app today that aims to help home shoppers and home buyers with their home improvement projects.

Available for the iPad and the Web, Zillow Digs is a free app designed to offer inspiration as well as information about remodeling projects. The free app lets users browse thousands of photos of bathroom, kitchen, and outdoor projects, as well as get estimates on the cost of the actual project based on the user's location.

Similar to Houzz, an online home improvement community that launched a design, decorating, and remodeling app in 2010, Digs allows users to create, save, and share Pinterest-like boards containing their ideas and interact with other users who may have similar ideas. The app also offers connections to local industry professionals, such as architects, contractors, and designers.

"Tens of millions of home buyers shop for homes on Zillow each month, and home improvement is a natural next step for us in consumer empowerment and transparency of information to help people make smarter decisions," Zillow CEO Spencer Rascoff said in a statement. This first-of-its-kind remodeling cost estimate algorithm was created by Zillow's industry-leading team of economists and data analysts who produce extensive housing data and research."

Founded in 2004 and launched as a Web site in 2006, Zillow has a sales and rental database on more than 110 million U.S. homes. The company's revenue comes from real estate professionals' subscription fees and advertising.

In 2008, the company launched Mortgage Marketplace, which lets prospective borrowers get quotes anonymously and lenders get leads for free.

BARRINGTON, R.I. (WPRI) A plumber is facing accusations he used his trade to steal from a local home.

Police said Robert Giammarco, 25, of Lincoln, came out of the woods, smashed a window on a home on Lantern Lane in Barrington, then entered the house and took what he could. He had done some plumbing work in the home months earlier.

Officials say Gimmarco was selling the stolen goods at a pawn shop called Lost Treasure Coin and Jewelry.

The shop's owner claims he had no idea that the items were stolen.

Police say Gimmarco also sold some of the items at a cart in the Emerald Square Mall, and that they're concerned there could be more victims.

It is very important is someone has had breaks in their house to contact Detective Ben Ferreira, said Chief LaCross of the Barrington Police Department.

Gimmarco was also charged back in October by Johnston Police with breaking and entering at nighttime.

NEWTON (CBS) Fire investigators are looking into whether a plumbers equipment started a fire that destroyed four apartments in Newton and left four families homeless.

He was doing some plumbing in one of the bathrooms, says Assistant Fire Chief Paul Chagnon.

A mother and toddler made it out uninjured, but that plumber went to the hospital with burns on his hand.

The assistant chief says the plumber may have hurt himself trying to put the fire out. Officials say it started in a wall and sent smoke through the eves, eventually spilling out over the neighborhood.

It happened on the heavily traveled Charles Bank Road, which is a major cut-through linking Nonantum Road to a Mass Pike on-ramp.

The road was shut down for hours, but firefighters were able to clear out and open the road by evening rush hour.

The Red Cross has stepped in to help the displaced families. They are currently providing two families with temporary housing as well as funds for food and baby supplies.

The remaining displaced residents have a place to stay.

Why Natural Pest Control #39;s Better: Biodefense
When you see a bug in your home, the first thing you #39;ll typically do is grab a can of the bug spray and call the pest control company to come and spray your home. However, the chemicals used in these sprays can be damaging to your family and pets health. A growing body of evidence links pesticides to neurological disorders such as ADHD, Parkinson #39;s disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), epilepsy, Alzheimer #39;s and progressive diseases like cancer. Because Pesticide use is so common, many people think it must be safe to use, however this is not the case. Even after the spray dries, the chemicals do not break down, leaving the chemicals around your home and in the air. This causes your family and pets to inhale the chemicals in the air, ingest them and absorb them through your skin when you come in contact with these chemicals. Many companies will even claim their products are organic because they come from chrysanthemum flowers, but these are neurotoxic POISONS that cause serious health problems. Even an EPA registration of a pesticide does not mean that it is safe. In fact, many pesticides with EPA registration are categorized as "Toxin, known carcinogen, mutagen, reproductive toxin, developmental toxin, immune system toxin, and endocrine disruptor". And for those with children: Using pesticides in the home is linked to: -Learning disabilities, with pesticides effecting a children #39;s overall development causing them to be diagnosed with diseases such as ADD and ADHD at an ...

This is a very graphic demonstration of how palatable baits can be to the right variety of ants. Now these are black ants. This particular bait is unlikely to be this effective with brown ants, but, there are alternatives when brown ants are encountered. So these ants are consuming the bait and, they #39;re taking it back to their nest where they are feeding their nest mates."
