Giving Back-Addressing Challenges in a Home

I've been in the TV business for 15+ years now, and I've seen a lot of shoddy construction jobs or DIY fails. I'm glad to see more and more homeowners doing their own research and educating themselves now before building a house or taking on a home improvement project. EDUCATION is key and we all learn from the experts around us. I always say, if you hire a home inspector, be present for your home inspection so you can learn about the systems in your house and how they work together. Same goes for other contractors working on your home. Don't be afraid to ask questions about the materials being used.

So when a company steps up and creates a program where they use their expertise to give back to the community-that makes me very happy. Horizon Pacific, experts in building and construction, has created a program where they work with a family with a child with physical challenges. They renovate the home to make their lifestyle more comfortable and the home more accessible. The best part is, they do it without any cost to the family.

They have widened doorways for wheelchair accessibility. They have put in ramps. They have made bathrooms more accessible. I love this program.

If you know someone in the Victoria, BC (Canada) area who could benefit from a free renovation to make their home more comfortable and accessible, tell them about this program. If your company wants to participate in this initiative in some way, leave me a comment below. And if you know any similar programs in your area, post that in the comments so we can share.

Deadline to apply for this program is May 31st. Full details on their website: https://www.horizoncontracting.ca/about/step-community-build-program/
