In addition to The Family Handyman, he's written for Angi, HomeAdvisor, This Old House, Today's Homeowner, Homedit, Flyhomes, and HomeLight. You'll find his byline on articles about everything from buying a house and managing rentals to clearing clogged drains and picking the right lumber for your home improvement project. Prior to writing, Scott was an apprentice building contractor and property manager--so he knows how to keep the lights on and the water running.
