Home Improvement Phone Apps

Most of us are using our phone for work as well as personal uses. If you have a Smartphone, there are so many applications that can help you with home improvement, also. Apps for iPhone, Android, and BlackBerry can be your digital toolbox. Downloadable iPhone and Android apps offer ways to maintain, improve, and save money on your home. I personally have downloaded some of these tools to use for both my personal use, construction use, and real estate use. There are so many more available.

1) Match that paint color: If you see a color at a friend’s house that would look great in your home, use Benjamin Moore’s Ben Color Capture or Sherwin-Williams’ ColorSnap, free mobile apps for iPhone, to conjure up a matching paint color and code in a jiffy. Take a photo with your phone, and the app matches the paint as closely as possible, and will display secondary and complementary colors. (ColorSnap is also available for BlackBerry.)

2) Get rid of stains: Good Housekeeping magazine has placed all their best stain-removal and cleaning advice into their free @Home app. It also includes decorating ideas and a searchable list of the 5,000-plus products that have earned a Good Housekeeping seal.

3) Look for recycled stuff: If you’re searching for a cheap replacement part, or looking for a deal on slightly-used appliances and materials, eBay’s free Mobile app lets you search the auction site’s entire marketplace from iPhone, Android, Windows Phone 7, and BlackBerry devices. You can also put any of your disused-but-functional household items up for sale and recoup some cash.

4) For listings close to home, search the popular Craigslist site through the free Craigsnotifica for Android or Craigspro for iPhone.

5) Price comparison: Finding lower prices on electronics and appliances used to mean driving from store to store or scanning Sunday circulars. With the free Price Check by Amazon, you can scan a product’s barcode at a store and compare the price against Amazon and other merchants. (Android and BlackBerry versions are also available.) PriceGrabber has a similar app for iPhone and Android.

6) Carpenter’s tools in one: For $1.99, the iHandy Carpenter app puts a ruler, protractor, bubble level, surface level, and plumb bob into your iPhone, allowing you to make measurements without lugging out the tool box. It’s perfect for simple jobs like hanging frames and mirrors.

7) Need just a level? There’s a free app for iPhone from iHandy and for Android from Johnson.
