Homeownership is an amazing thing—it’s the American Dream. You have a piece of real estate to call your own, a place where you have total control over all aspects of the property—from the paint color and the landscaping to structural options that will make a positive impact on the environment.

Of course, that also means you’re responsible for any necessary repairs and replacements around your property, which can be very difficult. It’s often enough to make any homeowner want to throw up their hands in frustration!
