A new website called What It Costs is looking for someone who knows the ins and outs of home construction, remodeling and repair and can write a thorough and in-depth analysis of the details, complications and COSTS involved in HIRING a professional (no DIYs) to complete various building and renovation projects. (Landscaping knowledge a plus)

The goal of What It Costs is to educate consumers about the ballpark price range they should expect to pay for different projects and also to explain what some of the key factors are that affect the costs so readers can understand some of the basics involved in the task before they call around to request a local quote.

Much of the information needed to write these pieces is not readily available online, so we need someone with real expertise in the construction area who can help our website fill this important niche.

Some examples of topics we plan to cover in the future are:

• What it costs to install central air/heat
• What it costs to install hardwood flooring
• What it costs to install a garage door
• What it costs to renovate a bathroom
• What it costs to install vinyl siding

Articles are generally between 1000 and 1500 words and must be written in general terms for a lay audience. Each piece must be well-researched and well-organized, following standard journalism feature style. Please visit the site at www.whatitcosts.com to get a feel for our topics and style.

This is a part-time contract position and the pay is $100/article.

To apply, please send an email to jobs@whatitcosts.com stating why you are a good fit for this position. Please attach (or include links to) two of your best writing samples.

Please accept our thanks in advance for your application as we most likely will not be able to reply to every submission.
