While many individuals may simply shell out a little cash and let someone else handle odd jobs around the house, the more industrious spirits among us may prefer to roll up sleeves and tackle these labors personally. If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself — or so the saying goes.

Thankfully, for these diligent DIYers there are dozens of apps on the Play Store and the App Store to help with such handiwork. From a basic measurement converter application to a digital level, here are six of the best home improvement apps.

If instead you want to save yourself the headache — and maybe a few splinters — the ClipCall app makes it easy to hire local contractors and carpenters to do the work for you.

If you are looking for apps for purposes other than home improvement, consult our guides to the best apps on Android and iOS.
