HomeSavvi Launches Remodeling Site

Seattle-based HomeSavvi, an online community for do-it-yourself home remodelers, officially revealed its existence Thursday. Villette Nolon and Will Hartmann said they co-founded the company to capitalize on existing demand and projected growth within the home improvement space. HomeSavvi said it will serve as a social-networking platform for homeowners seeking to plan their upcoming projects and for home improvement businesses wishing to showcase their products and services. Currently, the site's coverage is limited to the Seattle area, but HomeSavvi said it expects to penetrate the San Francisco, Boston, Miami, Dallas and Portland, Oregon, markets by next year.
