We all have that list of home-improvement projects that only seems to get longer with time. Need a wall painted, a leaky gutter fixed, or an extra bedroom for a growing family, but don’t where to start? Head to HomeAdvisor.

Like Craigslist without the scammers, HomeAdvisor is an online marketplace for homeowners to find prescreened home professionals, from plumbers to house cleaners. The site’s Instant Booking technology let’s you schedule more than 500 home tasks on-demand — no playing phone tag. And with True Cost Guide, you’ll get a better idea what it should cost, based on what other homeowners are paying locally and nationwide. All of HomeAdvisor’s resources are free for homeowners, with no membership or fees required, either online or on the free HomeAdvisor Android or iOS app.

To get you started with your next project, HomeAdvisor is giving two lucky DT readers a $500 Visa gift card for any project you can dream up. If you need some help coming up with some ideas, check out this list of home projects that can be done for under $500.

Win a free Samsung Galaxy S10 and Speck cases with this giveaway
samsung galaxy s10 giveaway and speck cases

The new Samsung Galaxy S10 just launched last week, and despite the hype surrounding the launch, we knew very little about it until getting our hands on it. Though Samsung’s previous flagships – the excellent Galaxy S9 and Note 9 – were great devices, the Galaxy S10 blows them out of the water in terms of features. So as a treat for our loyal readers, we're giving one lucky winner the opportunity to grab a brand new Samsung Galaxy S10 smartphone (a $900 value) along with a bundle of four Speck phone cases. Read on, or scroll to the bottom, to find out how you can enter.

There are a ton of different Android phone makers on the market right now, including Nokia, LG, andHuawei, and it seems like there are more and more brands throwing their hats into the ring each year. Yet Samsung is still remains king of the smartphone hill, commanding the lion’s share of the Android market (with Android itself also being the OS of choice for the majority of smartphone users today).

Enter to win the stunning HP Spectre Folio 2-in-1 leather laptop
hp spectre folio review xxl

There are a lot of laptops you can buy, but not very many are quite as luxurious as the HP Spectre Folio 2-in-1. Unlike most portable computers, the Spectre Folio adds genuine leather into its aesthetic. Upon first look, you may mistake it for nice notebook wrapped in leather, but upon closer inspection, you'll see that the leather is actually built-in as the Folio's chassis. Despite looking like a portfolio, this HP laptop is still a legit 2-in-1. We were so impressed by the look and feel of it that we decided to give it an 8 out 10 in our review, so we're pretty stoked to be giving one away.

With an 8th generation Intel Core i7 processor, 8 GB of memory, and 256 GB of SSD storage, the HP Spectre Folio is more than just pretty, it's also rather powerful. The 13-inch Full HD display, paired with tablet capabilities, make it an excellent laptop for everyything but larger scale design work. Unlike most 2-in-1 laptops, however, the Folio folds a little bit differently. If you take a look at the new HP Spectre x360, you'll notice that the screen folds over the back. This ends up leaving the keyboard exposed underneath. The Folio actually flips inward to cover the keyboard, allowing that luxurious leather to keep protecting the bottom of the laptop.
