6 ways to spruce up your home, part 3

Give your garage some TLC

Garages are by far some of the worst environments when it comes to salt damage from vehicles, but also the corrosive effects of things like gasoline and automotive fluids, tire markings, and abnormal heat — freeze cycles contribute to cracking and spalling. We help our clients not only avoid these issues, but also present a beautiful canvas to the outside world each and every time they open the door. Our products are highly specialized liquid applied polymers which enable our team to create beautiful and incredibly resilient floor systems over existing concrete and even wood.

Renovate sustainably

At the Lakeshore Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore, you can donate and purchase new and used home improvement items and building materials. Before trashing old appliances, cabinets or other items, consider donating them to the ReStore to add to the solution of recycling, reusing, reducing and rebuilding. The ReStore offers free pick-ups in all of Ottawa County and parts of Allegan County. Profits from the ReStore provide affordable homeownership and repair services to families in need.
