Introducing Tri-State Homeowner Report — your weekly 5-minute briefing

Local projects, costs, contractors, and maintenance — one useful Tri-State briefing each week.

Thursday · Issue #0

This week’s 5-minute homeowner briefing


1. What homeowners need to know

We’re launching Tri-State Homeowner Report — a local publication for homeowners across Southwest Indiana, Western Kentucky, and Southern Illinois.

Each week you’ll get a short briefing on home projects, costs, contractors, maintenance, and deals. Useful and local. About five minutes.

We’re a matching and information brand — not a contractor who does the work. When you need help, we point you to directory listings and a simple request form.

2. Project of the week: Patio covers & outdoor living

Thinking about covering a patio or expanding outdoor living space? Before you compare quotes, get clear on use, season, how the structure attaches, and drainage — those choices drive cost and long-term headaches more than most people expect.

We broke down the considerations and common mistakes (without inventing local price tags).

4. Seasonal checklist (mid-September)

Fall is when small chores prevent expensive surprises:

  • Replace the HVAC filter; schedule a tune-up if you’re due

  • - Clear gutters before heavy fall rain

  • - Plan outdoor faucet shutoff before the first freeze

  • - Quick roof glance for missing shingles or debris after storms

5. Homeowner question: Replace HVAC before it fails?

Waiting until a system dies can mean emergency rates, limited options, and a hot (or cold) house while you scramble. Planned replacement isn’t always right — but it’s worth understanding the tradeoffs before you’re forced into a decision.
