Today’s Homeowner Radio Show | January 30, 2021

Homeownership comes with its share of surprises, but we are always happy to answer any questions you may have.

For instance, maybe someone opened a door too close to the drywall and the spring door stopper failed — and now you have a hole. Or you discovered cracks in your tray ceiling and aren’t sure how to go about repairing them. You might be trying to find the source of a mysterious leak.

Maybe you want to know where to install your water softener, or how to reuse paint thinner. Or, you just can’t decide if you want to restore your old tile patio or replace it.

We’re here to help you figure out the easiest and most efficient ways to tackle these projects, and many more! Listen to this week’s radio show for advice.
