    The HOME Show hosts discussed the Coastal Grandma aesthetic from the Early Spring HOME issue, describing it as a calming look with natural fibers, neutral slipcovered furniture, and high-end accents. They also quizzed Rich on whether he qualifies as a Coastal Grandma. Spoiler: he does not. Jake Nuckols of DoorTek Garage Door Service discussed achieving the "Coastal Grandma" aesthetic using modern garage doors and Phantom Screens to blend indoor/outdoor living while blocking bugs. He stressed professional service over budget repairs, citing the long-term cost of improper spring sizing or installation. He also noted the advantages of Wi-Fi-enabled remote monitoring and the energy efficiency of high R-value insulated doors. HOME editor Jen Redmond and Joelle Inpyn discussed book clubs (featured on page 48 of HOME's Early Spring issue) as a community-building tool. They suggested a "sweet spot" of about six members for deep discussion and varied perspectives. Tips for engagement included rotating genres, using Goodreads for recommendations, and choosing a meeting time, likeSaturday brunch or late at night, that suits the group.

    The HOME Show: 2/12/26

    The HOME Show hosts discussed the release of the Early Spring issue of HOME magazine and the recent completion of the upcoming Smith Mountain Lake issue. They highlighted an article titled "Advice for the Awkward," which offers visual solutions for common design dilemmas like low light, limited storage, and tricky layouts such as corner fireplaces or angled walls. Chris Herndon of Pet & Aquatic Warehouse, a family-owned business with the state's largest fish and reptile departments, recommended freshwater tanks for beginners as they are more "forgiving" and less expensive than saltwater systems. He offered tips on aquarium placement and noted that leopard geckos and corn snakes are popular, low-maintenance reptiles. Herndon also suggested interactive puzzle toys to keep puppies mentally stimulated during winter. Southern Air's Russ Jackson and Efren offered HVAC cold-weather advice. They explained that heat pumps become less efficient below 40°F and advised switching to emergency heat during icy conditions to protect the outdoor unit. They stressed using air filters with a MERV 5 rating or lower to maintain airflow, recommending bi-annual professional maintenance to prevent expensive repairs, and reminding homeowners to locate their main water shut-off valves.

    The HOME Show: 2/5/26

    The HOME Show hosts discussed the release of the Early Spring issue of HOME magazine! They shared excitement over a comprehensive new article on sourdough breadmaking designed to make the process less intimidating for beginners. Ryan Blanks with Blanks Services discussed his combined home improvement and land management expertise. He stressed the necessity of communication and cleanliness for "middle of the road" projects, such as bathroom remodels or interior wall alterations, while homeowners are in residence. Blanks also gave tips on modernizing older ranch homes via window replacement, kitchen updates, and repairing, not just adding, gravel driveway stone. Keith Settje with Plumb Care Plumbing advised homeowners to locate their main water shut-off valve to prevent major leak damage. He compared tankless and traditional water heaters, noting that tankless offers endless hot water but may need specific electrical/gas upgrades. Settje also highlighted modern bathroom trends, such as click-together flooring, dual shower heads, and Bluetooth-integrated music systems.

    The HOME Show: 1/29/26

    The HOME Show hosts discussed the recent ice storm aftermath, sharing personal stories and stressing the need for patience as crews clear side streets. They also debated the best time to shovel before the slush refreezes. Steven Jefferson with Hickey Plumbing, Air and Electrical joined the show to discuss the rising demand for whole-home generators and compared them to portable generators. He offered critical maintenance advice for the extreme cold, warning homeowners never to "chunk" ice off a frozen heat pump. Steven also touched on how emergency or auxiliary heat works to help your HVAC unit. Ashby Perrow and Thacher Jennings with Southern Landscape Group highlighted the importance of winter planning, noting that the "downtime" of January is the ideal time for homeowners to design outdoor living spaces and kitchens for the spring. They addressed concerns regarding de-icers, explaining that concentrated salts can dehydrate root systems and should be blown off turf as soon as the ice melts. For trees and shrubs weighed down by ice, Ashby advised against shaking the branches, suggesting instead that homeowners let the ice melt naturally to avoid snapping the limbs.

    The HOME Show: 1/22/26

    The HOME hosts discussed the impending winter storm forecast for the weekend, sharing preparation tips like stocking up on groceries early and clearing snow and ice from garage doors. They exchanged practical advice for extreme cold, such as Dan Taylor’s suggestion to let faucets drip to prevent frozen pipes and the recommendation to put HVAC systems into "emergency heat" mode. The hosts also emphasized pet safety, warning listeners to limit outdoor time and clean paws to remove toxic ice melt and antifreeze. Rich Gilman, the "Law Dog" with Day Law Group, joined the show to discuss "Estate Planning 101" and its importance for every adult regardless of asset size. He explained that essential documents like a power of attorney can prevent costly "nuclear options" like court-ordered guardianship if someone becomes incapacitated. Gilman advised listeners to keep original documents in a central, known location and noted that major life changes—such as children reaching adulthood or selling a home—are the best times to review and update a will or trust. Dan Taylor of Kidd's Restoration and Cleaning Services offered home maintenance tips, including a unique method for local red clay: let it dry completely before vacuuming to avoid pushing the stain deeper. He also warned about asbestos in older homes, stressing that renovation projects involving undisturbed 1960s-era floor tiles or pipe insulation require licensed professionals for safe removal and air clearance testing.
