Hi, I’m Holly, and I’m so glad you’re here.

For years, I’ve worked closely with homeowners, contractors, service providers, and local businesses across our community. I’ve seen firsthand how overwhelming it can be to own a home—whether it’s knowing who to trust, what actually matters, or where to even start when something needs attention.
That’s exactly why I created The Homeowners Journal.
Why I Started The Homeowners Journal
Homeownership doesn’t come with a manual—but it should come with trusted guidance.
Too often, homeowners are left sorting through online reviews, social media ads, and conflicting advice, trying to figure out which companies are reliable and which ones just sound good on paper. I’ve watched people get burned by poor workmanship, rushed decisions, or simply choosing the wrong professional for the job.
The Homeowners Journal was created to change that.
This journal exists to connect homeowners with vetted, trusted local experts—from fencing and roofing to insurance, real estate, landscaping, and everything in between. These aren’t random recommendations. These are businesses that stand behind their work, value relationships, and genuinely care about the communities they serve.
What You’ll Find Here
Each month, The Homeowners Journal will feature:
Trusted local businesses and service providers
Expert insights and homeowner tips
Real advice from professionals who do this work every day
Spotlights on companies you can confidently invite into your home
Think of it as your go-to resource—something you can reference, save, and come back to when questions come up or projects are on the horizon.
Why This Matters to Me
This journal is more than a publication—it’s personal.
I believe strongly in community, integrity, and doing business the right way. I believe homeowners deserve transparency, education, and access to people who take pride in their craft. And I believe that great local businesses deserve a platform that reflects the quality of their work.
The Homeowners Journal is where those values meet.
Thank You for Being Here!
Whether you’re a homeowner looking for guidance or a local business passionate about serving your community, I’m grateful you’re part of this journey.
This is just the beginning—and I can’t wait to share what’s ahead.
Welcome to The Homeowners Journal.
