TIME FOR HOME REPAIR?
The current economic downturn offers some excellent opportunities for homeowners. Builders who can't sell the last home or two they built on speculation (Spec Houses) in Shell Knob, are probably not starting to build more until one of the homes sell.
This puts many skilled craftsmen (and some not so skilled - let's be honest) with time on their hands and no income. This might just be the perfect time for Mr. & Mrs. Homeowner to do some home improvements.
Personally, I just had three of my outdoor doors replaced on my 23 year old Shell Knob home. Hail storms last spring resulted in my insurance company supplying a new roof. It's just normal wear and tear that requires updating. It did however provide my favorite contractor with work and income.
Last year you would have been put on a waiting list to get a builder to come by and give you an estimate. It's now whole other story.
Builders and their crews are welcoming any work they can get right now. If you've been putting off having some painting or plumbing done, it might be an excellent time to place a few calls and get estimates.
