Managing a home improvement project, no matter what size, is a daunting prospect. You may have a vivid idea of how you want the rec room to look when it’s finished, but you have little to no idea of the labor, materials, equipment and time it’s going to take to complete the job to match your vision.

Step Up Services is not a design-build company. They don’t have a vested interest in the cost of the project. They’re not “up-selling” you to add square footage or more expensive fixtures. That’s the “normal” way of doing business.

When it comes to Rosé wine, vintage is more important than most people think. Rosé recently has become the cool thing to drink outside amongst friends. I mean, why not? It’s fresh, fruity and goes down extremely easily. Even men will slug a couple glasses of rose instead of their usual craft beer these days.


Just Listed highlights Arlington properties that just came on the market within the past week. This feature is written and sponsored by Team Cathell, “Your Orange Line Specialists.”

As the summer begins, Arlington’s real estate market remains vibrant. Sellers were busy listing 76 homes, and buyers were busy ratifying 69 contracts. Some 22 of those homes sold within a week. The average days on market dropped to just 35. There are now 584 homes actively available on the market. At the current absorption rate, that’s only 2.1 months supply of inventory, nearly the same as the peak of the Spring market.
