What To Do in the Fall With an Eye Toward the Holidays |
|
Covid brought a lot of changes to the world. Unfortunately, the home building and renovation industry was not immune to these disruptions, And, it seems, given the current trend, that prices for building products and fixtures continue to rise. To complicate matters further, order fulfillment times for some products are still on the high side, too.
However, don’t let this discourage you from your dreams of renovation. Even in our current environment, renovations are affordable and achievable. So, if you’re thinking about pulling the trigger on a renovation, here’s what you should consider as we head into fall and approach the holiday season:
-
Start sooner rather than later. Not only are prices of materials increasing, we’re also seeing longer lead times on sourcing of many items. While some materials, such as rough lumber are currently plentiful, others, such as appliances, can take six months or more to arrive after an order is placed. If you were to start the design process now on your renovation project, you’d very likely be looking at a spring completion date, at the earliest.
-
Consider the changes that would have the most significant visual impact. Switching up paint colors, swapping out flooring, and updating lighting are three relatively simple projects that can provide an immediate change to the entire look of your home. Two rooms in particular that have an immediate impact (not to mention adding to your home value) are the kitchen and bathrooms. These rooms are highly visible as they’re frequented by guests during holiday get-togethers.

House to Home Solutions is a long-time supporter of youth sports teams, and on September 23, under the Friday Night Lights at Winston Churchill High School in Potomac, Maryland, we proudly kicked off our 2022-23 sponsorship of WCHS Bulldog Athletics with an information tent at the Bulldogs vs. Wootton Patriots football game. In addition, our new stadium banner was prominently displayed and our company logo was frequently flashed on the scoreboard video board. Pictured above (from left to right) are Lee Kahn, Estimator/Project Coordinator; Daniel Carrero, President; Matt Kanne, Project Manager; and Erick Casasola, Field Coordinator. |

House to Home Solutions Hosts Annual Appreciation Barbeque |
|
What time of year do our employees and partners look forward to most? You might think it’s the holidays, but for many, it’s when we hold our annual Appreciation Barbeque.
On September 9, we hosted 50 people at the home of Daniel Carrero, President of House to Home Solutions. Guests in attendance included our own employees plus folks from our trade partners and vendors.
The primary purpose of the annual gathering is to show our appreciation for our employees and trade partners; however, it also serves as an opportunity for us to get to know each other, swap war stories, and become friends outside of work.
Highlights of the event included—of course—a whole roasted pig and a large offering of sides and desserts. And no appreciation barbeque would be complete without a raffle and prizes provided by our sponsors and House to Home Solutions.
This year, our sponsors were:
• TW Perry • Regal Paint Centers
• Benjamin Moore Paints • Ferguson
• Conestoga Tile
