Brookstone
Brookstone has everything from kitchen organizers to furniture you can get all sorts of fashionable, intelligently designed products that will make your home a better, more comfortable place to live. They have a Brea Mall store location, but finding a parking place can be difficult. But since they can't stock everything in their online catalog it makes sense to check them out online.

Contractor
Richard Trier 562-696-7500
Past clients rave about this contractor's work and the team that he's assembled to design a room and make your home repair improvement ideas come alive. And he definitely deserves a place in this local home improvements catalog. As my friend Lori R. says, "I would highly recommend the quality of his work and his workers. They don't do cheap work, so I would use them for the house you want to live in forever, not for a quick fix up just to sell a house. We had a lot of foundation problems and other things that they fixed that don't really show but matter to the finished product. They didn't just make things look good. They did it right. All the subcontractors are ones Richard has worked with before and knows their work. They also work well with each other."

Roof Repair Contractors
Dick Madsen Roofing 562-696-9587
The Whittier, CA area is full of homes with wood shake roofs that are getting old and leaking. And they're messy to replace. Dick's crew has always done a great job replacing these roofs and cleaning up the debris afterwards. Call them for everything from small leaks to total roof replacements.
Termite Treatment
Taurus Termite 714-993-1161
The best termite company you've never heard of and a shoo-in for one of our favorites in our home improvements catalog. That's because they don't spend all their money on expensive advertising. They get most of their business from recommendations. Their wood repair and replacement costs are reasonable. Taurus isn't 'fume happy', they do what is necessary to get the job done according to state standards. And if they miss some termites they've been wonderful about coming back out until the job is done. That being said, they do not have Superman x-ray vision. If the termites and damage are hidden within walls or in inaccessible areas, no termite company is going to be able to spot them.
