Preparing Your Home for Retirement

About Me

Hello! My name is Maureen. I live in a suburb of Sydney. Since I retired from my job in the local bank, I have been working on my home to make it the ideal place to see out the rest of my days. The first thing I wanted to do was to extend my home so that the kitchen is larger. My son suggested a great construction company. The contractors came around and assessed the scale of the work. The guys carried out the work in a really professional way and I have since had them back to carry out other jobs on my home.
