Are you getting ready for winter? Do you feel the chill out there? I do. It’s one of my favorite times of the year, and that’s Fall. Everything in the garden is starting to die off and look kinda creepy out there. It’s spooky and I really love that.
And then of course, right after that turkey dinner we bring out the lights. Up goes the trees and before you know it, Christmas will be here. 2019 will be in the history books, so that’s kind of sad. But for 2019, I think it’s been a really good year for home improvement. At least a lot of remodeling is going on out there. People are busy. I know it’s very difficult to find good contractors right now. We can help you out though. Go to AskTheContractors.com and I think you’re going to find an easy path to using one of our local Home Improvement Pros. Like DR Design & Remodel. Medich Electric. Prestige Floors. CBS Bonds and Insurance.
How about Todd Bird and Toddco Builders? So, if you’re thinking about doing a project, check out how much information you can find on our website. We’re not just contractors but you learn from things in the news you’ll hear on the show.
