Is home improvement and home maintenance the same thing?

In some cases, but not all cases, home maintenance and home improvement may be the same thing. For example, painting is an aspect of home improvement that is required as an act of home maintenance, but which is also done to improve the interior and exterior appearance of a home.

What is home improvement?

Home improvement is the positive adjusting of the home through renovation or extension, as opposed to homemaking which deals with the maintenance of a home in its current condition.

Although many businesses provide services for home improvement, many people choose to do it themselves. One major factor in the popularity of 'Do-It-Yourself' home improvement is the way publications and media have glamorised 'DIY' as both easy and affordable.
