Your house doesn't come with a manual. We're the next best thing.
Whether you're DIY or looking to hire, we're here to help you find the best information and options for you and your home. Every week, Craig Williams and Kevin Hackett break down what every Houston homeowner actually needs to know: maintenance, repairs, hiring, and the questions nobody else will answer straight.
What's normal, and what's a warning sign. When to DIY, and when to pick up the phone. What things should actually cost, and how to hire a contractor without holding your breath. That's what The Homeowners Show is for: straight talk from two guys who've spent their lives in and around Houston homes, delivered the way a knowledgeable neighbor would explain it over the fence. No scare tactics. No sales pitch. We just want you to be the best homeowner on the block.
Craig and Kevin have put out 360 episodes since September 2018, and all of it is about owning a home in and around Houston, TX.
Kevin had a main fork of a big tree break off and land along his property line, and rather than pay a crew for an awkward job he bought an EGO 18 inch battery chainsaw. This episode is the whole story, from ruling out gas to standing in the aisle at Lowe's comparing specs.
Craig and Kevin have a guest in the studio this week: Jessi Cowart, a lifelong Montgomery County resident from Oak Ridge North who is running for Texas House District 15 as a Libertarian. The seat is open because Steve Toth is running for Congress, and Jessi says that if she wins she would be the first Libertarian ever seated in the Texas House.
