The WHAM Home Repair Clinic March 2025 newsletter
Aren't we happy getting to start March! Closer to ending winter and onto starting all of those projects you want to get done! Can't wait!
On JimSalmon.com homepage, click the tab or just click - Contractors & Service Providers, check out all of the companies we recommend. Local, small businesses, quality. Many of whom Jim Salmon & John Welch have used for their own projects, etc.
Take a look at them and find out what they do, how their services can benefit you, your house, your yard, your life!
March is a good time to figure out your projects you want to get done and doing it yourself is always an experience! However, some projects you should leave to the professionals. Or you wait until you've totally messed it up, then give them a call!
Now is the time to contact these businesses to get estimates and onto their schedules.
You know everyone is Irish on St. Patrick's Day! A day for celebrating (responsibly) & having fun! After the winter we've had we need a break! It's March 17th which is a Monday, so that weekend ahead will be full of celebrations! Most likely no thought is given to the actual reason for the date. It's a religious and cultural holiday marking the original death in the fifth century of Saint Patrick, Ireland's patron saint. It certainly has gone far away from that especially in the U.S.!
Rochester, N.Y. has a St. Patrick's Day parade every year. This year it's Saturday, March 15, 2025, 12:30pm in downtown Rochester. (let's hope the weather is warmer!). Jim Salmon is going to be one of the judges again. It's a fun time! Everyone is excited to participate in or watch the parade! Plan on attending, lots of information on https://rochesterparade.com/
Ok, moving on from this person who obviously took matters into their own hands!

What happens when the power goes out - which seems to be happening frequently. You chance having to throw out the food in your refrigerator, the inconvenience of no lights, tv, computer, heat (minor problem! joking!) etc. So before this could happen to you, take a quick drive over to 1100 Jefferson Road, Rochester, N.Y. 14623 to Generator Supercenter of Upstate NY. They have the best, most reliable brand of stand by generators - Generac. They will talk with you to determine what your preferences are that you want powered up in your home.

You can trust they will help you and install and maintain your selection.

So this company can prevent you from having damage to your house! All County Gutter! You have seen your gutters overflow during the rain, ok so you see it and somewhat note it in your head, then forget. Now, those clogged gutters are getting some snow melting, then freezing and expanding to the point of cracking, therefore, leaking. That leaking can run down the wall etc. causing all kinds of issues, the ceiling, along the wall, the flooring, into the basement - creating a mess. Plan right now on getting those gutters replaced by having All County Gutter install 5" or 6" gutters and proper downspouts to be able to handle water draining the way it should.
All County Gutter also does repairs and cleaning so no matter the problem with your gutters they've got it covered!
A dentist can make the difference in how you feel. Ever have a toothache? That's all you can think about day & night, it doesn't go away even with taking a pain pill. And it won't go away until you get to the dentist for them to do whatever is needed. We recommend The Center for Cosmetic Dentistry, 585-227-4390, 34 Buckman Road, Rochester, N.Y. 14615. They are a full-service dental office, and widely experienced in all aspects. They perform general dentistry and especially cosmetic, making sure your teeth are healthy, correctly in alignment and beautiful.
Set up an appointment for a cleaning and xrays so they can make sure you don't end up with a painful tooth!
A little known fact, they donate their time and expertise helping families in third world countries. Takes special people to do that.
