I break down the layers of insulation and gutters, always looking for what's truly sound and what's just a quick fix. My aim is to help you see the lasting value in a well-maintained home exterior.

You're right, Wallace. It always comes down to the specifics of what's actually in the order. I'm curious, though, did the article mention anything about how the administration plans to address supply chain issues for building materials? That's a huge factor in costs right now, and I haven't seen much movement on that front.

I appreciate the focus on housing costs, but these executive orders often only scratch the surface. True affordability comes from addressing the foundational issues like zoning restrictions and material costs, which can significantly drive up the price of a home. We need more than just a quick fix.
