Next to the exterior of your house, your garage may be the first thing you see when you come home each day.

Bare concrete absorbs anything that is introduced to it, such as oils spills, chemicals, water, salt, etc. These things are very harmful and over time will…

On the bright side, deck maintenance can be very simple if it is kept up from year…

When we first bought our house it was full of color. Unfortunately not any colors that we even kind of enjoyed. As a professional painting contractor, my fiancé wanted us to repaint every room, so it felt like home. Picking colors proved to be challenging for us. We are apparently pretty neutral people. We decided to stop living in the black and white, we decided to stop being afraid of color, and to start taking some chances!
