Hidden Remodeling Surprises | Saving with Service Contracts | Easy to Install Terrazzo | Ep #2140

Listen Later

SHOW NOTES:

  • Everyone wants a perfect remodel but home improvement and perfect are two words that you don’t often hear in the same sentence! We share tips on how to avoid the hidden surprises that come with the territory.
  • Home prices are up and that means successful home buyers may not have much money left for unexpected repairs once they close on the house.  Service contracts can help handle a lot of those surprise costs. We explain the options.
  • Terrazzo has been proven as a floor that is both durable and beautiful. But while traditional terrazzo is costly and expensive to install, stone-based terrazzo coating systems are not – and they’re super easy to install.

    • Plus, answers to your home improvement questions.

    • Susan from Montana wants to know how to fix the pitch on her driveway so it will drain properly.
    • Ron in Florida wants to diagnosis the cause of his water heater overheating and tripping his circuit breaker.
    • Jeanette from Colorado wants to know if radiant flooring is a good option in a cold climate.
    • Richard from Illinois wants to stop his retaining wall from leaking.
    • Pam in Colorado wants to fix a squeaky floor underneath her carpet.
    • Rebecca from Kansas wants to know how to cover her wood paneling with drywall.
    • Tom from New Jersey wants to know if fixing the seal on his double pane window is a DIY project?
    • Donna from Arkansas wants to know how to soundproof a duplex wall.
    • Mac in Missouri wants to know if he should leave his pool cleaning system on all year.
