We’ve all spent some extra time at home in recent months. Perhaps the extra time has helped you develop a new appreciation for your home. Your home has served as a safe place to stay, work and learn, and spend time connecting with family. Home is your sanctuary. Many of us have taken advantage of the time to tackle indoor […]

The holidays are over, but if you drive around town, you’ll likely still see Christmas lights on plenty of homes. Despite the work, hanging lights and decorating for the holidays is festive and fun, and gets you in the spirit of the holidays.

If the forecast for heavy rain this weekend is correct, homeowners need to act now to make sure the rain is able to drain through downspouts.
