IN & AROUND INDIANAPOLIS
Hey there,
You might notice the newsletter looks a little different. We gave it a refresh, and I hope it's easier to read. My week has been all about inspection responses, helping clients line up quotes and repairs from the pros. We've dealt with everything from replacing knob and tube wiring to getting leaky drains not so leaky. On a brighter note, if you missed it, we're now sharing a home tour every week. Watch one below and hit reply to tell me what you think.
