Can you believe it's Memorial Day weekend already? I figured this would be the perfect time to launch a new weekly series we will be publishing. At Delgado Stone we are always reading and exchanging industry information. When someone finds and article they like, it's typically circulated throughout the company. This week we are sharing "5 Building Industry Stories" to help get you through Memorial Day weekend... in case you miss work.

We focus on quality, consistency, lead time, price, and using technology to make life easier for our customers. I read McKinsey blog posts on a regular basis and this one needs to be shared.

By thinking a little differently and focusing on forgotten areas of your home you can add value and decrease the listing time when your home is on the market.
We wish everyone a great Memorial Day weekend and we are looking forward to a great Summer season![/fusion_text][/fullwidth]
