Goodbye, Paint Project Regret!

In this episode of the Replica Light Home Improvement Show sponsored by Benjamin Moore, we kick off summer with a quick discussion aimed at helping us all cross the "Clean Out the Garage" project off our to-do list.

For More Info

We also sit down with Mark DeVisser from Great Lakes Plumbing (aka The Plumber is Here) to get his answers to your questions! The questions we deal with on this episode are these:

  • What's the cause and fix for a leaky faucet?
  • How do I get hot water to my kitchen and bathroom faucets faster?

Mark services the Holland area up to Muskegon, over to Grandville, and south to South Haven. If you're in that area and have a question, you can reach Mark at 616-218-2529.

Finally, we talk about paint project regrets ranging from not painting the ceiling to skimping on quality paint and tools. Practical advice is abundant as listeners are guided through making their home improvement projects more successful and stress-free.
