February Home Maintenance Task
Have you ever noticed the caulk around your bathtub, sink, or shower cracking or peeling? If you answered yes, it's time to go grab some supplies and fix it!
This month we encourage you to inspect the caulk and grout in your bathrooms and kitchen to look for signs of wear. Caulk or grout that is in bad shape can cause moisture and mold issues. If you find that you need to replace any caulk, follow the instructions in this video.

Please join us in welcoming Brad Starbuck to our Board of Directors!
| Brad recently joined RTGC's board and we are thrilled he became a [Re]Builder! Brad has experience with volunteer home repair, and he was deeply impacted by the connections he made with homeowners in Denver, CO. When Brad saw the opportunity to become a board member at RTGC through it reignited his passion for nonprofit home repair. Brad uses his 10 years of accounting and finance expertise with PwC to contribute to behind-the-scenes operations at RTGC. When Brad is not working, he loves spending time outdoors. You can find him hiking, skiing, hunting, and golfing with his wife and kids. When Brad wins the lottery, he’s moving to the Rocky Mountains to be in nature and start his ski patrol career!
