Laughter, the smell of turkey roasting, seeing friends and family who we have dearly missed — that's where holiday gatherings should be focused, not an overflowing septic system.

Or the electric system that overloaded when you plugged in one last strand of lights. Or your overnight guests seeing their own breath in your living room after your furnace goes out. Or maybe a roof leak magically appeared after the big guy in red made such a clatter.

If there's one thing you can count on during the busy holiday season, it's at least one unexpected "surprise" popping up. Extra guests, extra appliance use, colder weather — it all means extra work for your household systems, but don't worry! Lion Home Service has you covered with septic, electrical, heating, roofing and more.

No matter what, no matter when, Lion Home Service has you covered with 24-hour emergency service. Lion Home Service owner and Colorado native, Barton Palmer, and I actually met at the beginning of our careers, 20 years ago. I can personally say he is one of the most customer service-oriented business owners I know. That's why you see their yellow and black trucks driving all over Northern Colorado.

For all your regular maintenance and those unexpected emergencies, give Lion Home Service a call at (970)-829-8222 or visit them online at lionhomeservice.com. They'll take care of your home as if it was their own!
