The Wave in Durham

With spring upon us and more time than usual at home, here are some more home maintenance jobs to tackle to help keep you and your property safe: Repair Windows...: Gaps in your windows can let water and critters in. Replace old caulking where required and check wood trim and sills for any signs of decay. Replace or repair where you need to. Check Power Equipment: Inspect your gas and battery-powered lawn and maintenance equipment is safe for use. Cleaning and tuning it up will make it easier (and safer) to use. #CommonwellCares #IndividualsTogether #HomeInsurance

It's disappointing so much of what we enjoy, and so much of what we'd been looking forward to has been put on hold. But there can be a silver lining in this if we look for it. More time to connect with family? A chance to read that book sitting on your shelf? Finally time to pick up that paint brush? What's your silver lining right now? Please share! #CommonwellCares #Silverlining #StayPositive #InThisTogether #Insurance #InsuranceOntario

These times ahead could mean much more quality time with immediate family, and that can be a gift.
