I hope your holiday was spectacular. If your New Year's resolutions include major do-it-yourself projects, you can use this telephone list to track down some of the more elusive items you may need. Last week's list included my most-requested phone numbers for cleaning, concrete, consumer protection, construction, deck and finishing products. this week's list includes phone numbers for hardwood floor finishing, kitchens and baths, paints and coatings, repair, roofing, windows and doors. I hope you use these phone numbers to get the information you need to make your home the best it can be in the coming year.
Please clip and save these phone numbers. I don't think you will find a compilations like this anywhere else.
Happy New Year!
