Hi Gina, I agree with Brad. It would be great to have you in the neighborhood. I know that many of the homeowners on my block are always renovating or updating their homes to some extent. I certainly have a long list of intended renovations and upgrades. Like Brad, I currently shop at the Home Depot on Perring Parkway but would gladly switch to a local business.
