Q & A:

- Painting: Dan wants to paint his vinyl siding. He’d be setting himself up for years of repainting it, so we suggest changing the color of his door, trim, or shutters instead.

- Plumbing: Barbara’s toilet makes a bubbling sound and doesn’t fully flush. A partial obstruction may be causing a venting issue that needs to be unblocked with an auger.

- HVAC: Carl is concerned about a new refrigerant that replaced Freon in 2023, but it’s more efficient and environmentally friendly.

- Bath Remodel: Who should you use for bathroom remodeling? Macey should determine exactly what she wants done and then get bids on the specs from experienced bathroom contractors.

- Epoxy Flooring: Applying a durable epoxy coating is a DIY project that Greg can do to make a concrete floor more attractive.

- Foundation: Brenda’s poured concrete basement walls are starting to crumble. She needs a structural engineer to determine how to make the proper repairs.
