I really like that you open with "Questions you would typically ask a home contractor." That's a great way to get across, very simply, what type of questions you deal with. You avoid needing to define specifics (though you do that to); instead, you're focusing on the _type_ of expertise you're offering, which I find very appropriate.

Very minor rewrite suggestions - consider:

- `Questions you should not ask include:` into `We do **not** deal with the following topics:` 
- `Questions not related to the home, including hobby projects, cars, and landscaping` into `Questions not related to home improvement projects (such as hobby projects, cars, or landscaping)`

You might want to include something about pricing being off-topic.

All in all, though, I think this FAQ presents its points in a clear and straightforward manner.
