Hi, I can recommend Twitter, it's one of the best social networks!
The moment Twitter was launched, businessmen and women saw a golden opportunity to market their products or services. For some, social media marketing via this venue has been highly successful. For others, little, if any, sales increases have been realized. So what are each of these groups doing differently? It just may be their strategy and approach.
There is a fine line between how many tweets are just the right amount, how many are too few, and how many are too much. If you update infrequently, you may not be noticed. Too often, and you may be considered a spammer and lose followers at a rapid rate. The best course of action when using Twitter for marketing is to settle on somewhere in the middle. This topic is discussed in depth in the Twitter Marketing Beginner's Guide.
What your tweets say is also extremely important. More than anything else, your followers will want to read something of value. Helpful articles and information are a great option, as are coupon codes and links to products that are on sale. When you mix helpful information in with your standard sales driven tweets, you will achieve a higher level of success.
Posting the best tweets will only take you so far if you do not take the time to interact with your followers. People want to know that they are heard, and should you choose to not respond to their questions or comments, chances are the "unfollow" button will be used. Interacting does not be time-consuming. Just a few minutes each day spend responding to questions and comments should suffice. These, as well as other Twitter tactics are discussed on the TopRank blog article: 5 Steps To Build A Twitter Marketing Strategy.
If you are in need of more followers, do take the time to place a link to your Twitter account on your website. You should also include a small blurb about why people should follow you. For example, if you will be offering special discounts to your Twitter followers, tell them so. Placing a link alone will not do much unless you receive massive amounts of traffic. Obviously, if you are already receiving massive amounts of traffic, Twitter may only be an afterthought for you.
Indeed, both a right and wrong way to use Twitter for marketing purposes exist. Getting the most out of this social media giant will only require that you follow just a few basic guidelines mentioned here, and are consistent with your approach. Though there will likely be new trends and marketing methods used for Twitter in the future, these basic common sense approaches will not change.
Good luck in promoting your site!

Creating a brand awareness ad on Facebook will help drive higher numbers of impressions and increase brand awareness for immediate results. Our team recommends having a Facebook likes campaign so you're immediately growing your audience. The key though is to hone-in on the right target audience so your engagement will coincide with your follower increase. You want to make sure you're not just growing your following, but growing your following of the RIGHT audience that will care about what your business is offering. We suggest using location filters and targeting by zip codes you service. Facebook ads can also connect with Instagram so you can reach the right future customer on both.

The number one rule on social media: Never look for quick fixes.
Instead, focus on building a long-term relationship with your audience, readers, followers, leads, influencers or customers. Invest time in real-time interactions and whichever platform you chose, pay attention to the audience and their behavioral patterns.
In terms of home improvement and/or maintenance, the platform that stands out is PINTEREST. Pinterest is gaining a lot of momentum lately and it has added a lot of new marketing features too to facilitate business. You can share before and after home improvement pictures, target women (a majority of the population on Pinterest) and benefit from Pinterest’s built-in ads (pixel integration), etc.
I believe Pinterest could be a great start. But if you have resources, you can venture into blogging as well. Work with relevant blogs to market and expand your reach. Introduce your business and grow organic reach over time. It will also help you improve your website’s authority in search rankings.
Hope this helps!
