I always recommend to my clients after they buy a home to look into service contracts with local Continue Reading

Northern Virginia home buyers looking to move to Vienna are witnessing an interesting spring real estate market in May.

Your house has an ice dam?
One of the problems of having too much snow and below freezing temperatures for a week is the gutter ice dam. This happens when the gutter stops draining due to compacted snow or a block of ice.
