Guides
Guides for Columbus homeowners.
Plain answers to the questions I get the most, written for houses around here.
- How to winterize a house in Columbus
Outside faucets, sprinklers, cold spot pipes, the sump pump, the furnace, and your main water shutoff, before the first hard freeze.
- What a home maintenance plan costs in Columbus
What drives the price, how monthly plans compare, and exactly how 1614 Home Co. is priced.
