"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" — BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

Franklin said it over 200 years ago, but it's never been more true — or valuable — for today's homeowner. With the increasing costs of utilities and home repairs, doing a little preventative maintenance will preserve your home, increase its value and save you money in repairs and energy costs.
