Letter From The Publisher Thank you for the chance to provide a service to this great community that we live in. We know how hard it is to find a good company to fill your home improvement needs. We feel that our reputable companies will help you through the process of improving your home and provide you with the comfort and knowledge that you chose the best contractor out there. Our mission is to give you quality choices for your improvement needs, ranging from kitchen & bath remodels, energy audits to room additions. Our services are designed to help you perform research on contractors that are skilled in providing you the service that you need to have done on your home. Remember, the companies in this book are aware and are glad that you are researching who you will hire to come into your home. In fact, they encourage all homeowners to do that prior to hiring any contractor. We always hear horror stories of homeowners hiring a contractor merely because he gave them the cheapest price. Do your own research and get the job done correctly by a professional that will be here down the road to take care of you in the future. Go to our website, www.homeimprovementmag.com, where you can watch videos, view pictures of their work and even click over to their websites. You must read the articles on the website that are written by some of the top contractors in the industry. Please tell them that you saw them in the Home Improvement Resource Guide. Thank you and have fun improving your home.
Thank you,
