Summer Projects and Home Improvement Q&A: From Deck Cleaning to Flooring Choices
In this episode of the RepcoLite Home Improvement Show, sponsored by Benjamin Moore, Dan delves into a variety of home improvement topics. He references last week's show and talks about how George Washington's letters during the Revolutionary War may have helped Washington make better, more confident battlefield decisions during the war.
Dan explains how this inspired him to start recommending small, manageable tasks, he's calling 'George jobs.' The first 'George job' tackled is cleaning a dirty deck using Benjamin Moore's 'Clean' product.
The episode also features a Q&A session with experts from Village Custom Interiors, addressing listener questions about flooring options for rental properties, the impact of carpets on allergies, suitable flooring for three-season porches, and the feasibility of DIY vinyl plank installation for retired individuals. The experts also discuss the latest trends in carpet styles, notably patterned Berber and cut and loop carpets. The episode wraps up with a reminder about the ongoing sale on Benjamin Moore's Regal Select paint.
