A comfy way to make those much needed repairs!

Are you thinking about making some changes around the house, doing some remodeling or need some repairs? Well, join the crowd, you wouldn’t believe how many of us are in the middle of remodeling and repairs or plan to do them before the end of the year.

Some things as simple as painting a room or as complicated as adding on a room are in the planning stages. On average, the normal homeowner will change the color of at least one room, once a year. Carpet is changed out about every five to six years.

Believe it or not we must be one of those normal homeowners. A couple of years ago we yanked up all the carpet and put down alternative flooring. The next year we had our living room completely redone, another new floor, a new ceiling fan, some new furniture and of course the walls and ceiling were painted. The only thing I could do of all that was pick out the new furniture, flooring and paint colors. The work itself had to hired out.

Where did I go to find the right person, the internet, of course! Most all of the home remodelers and contractors advertise on the internet. Why? That’s because 90% of all homeowners have a computer and use it to do searches, instead of using phone books. We don’t even have a phone book in the house anymore. The other 10% of homeowners usually have access to a computer at work or at the public library. The good thing about using the internet is there are usually reviews from existing or past customers.

So, next time you need to find someone to do those repairs or just to help with redecorating, pour yourself a cup of tea, turn on the computer and find that perfect person to assist you. It’s a lot more relaxing sitting in your comfy chair taking your time to look!
