Definition
- Home improvement refers to the various ways in which dwellings may be enhanced or enlarged. Although many improvements are carried out by property owners themselves, reflecting the do-it-yourself (DIY) approach with its roots in the American ethos of self-reliance, they are also the concern of a major industry.
