Welcome to Avalanche Contractor

Whether you're a first-time homeowner or simply want to understand your home better, this site is designed to help you learn the basics safely. We focus on educational content that helps you recognize problems, understand your home's systems, and know when to call a licensed professional.

What We Cover

Our content focuses on beginner-friendly topics like:

  • Understanding your home's basic systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC)
  • Understanding what to be aware of and when to call professionals
  • Recognizing warning signs that need professional attention
  • Seasonal maintenance awareness points
  • Tool basics and safety fundamentals

Safety First

We do not provide step-by-step instructions for dangerous work like electrical panel modifications, gas line work, structural changes, or anything requiring permits. Our goal is education and safety awareness, not DIY instructions for professional trades.
