Dare yourself each day to be a blessing to someone
“Dare yourself each day to be a blessing to someone.”

A year ago, I felt compelled to do something different. I had to follow a dream, passion, and desire to make a difference in the lives of others as well as my own. A year ago, I took a leap of faith, said a prayer and launched my business, Archie Home Improvements LLC. You could say flood waters made me do it. The surge of torrential downpours across Baton Rouge and the surrounding areas created havoc for several families that I know, including some of my family members. I could not sit by idly and watch knowing that I could serve my community and fuel my passion for renovating and design.
I am a licensed and bonded home improvement contractor in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and surrounding areas. I have worked with several clients renovating their homes from the August 2016 floods. My motto is “Renovate your home and fall in love with it all over again.” I have remodeled entire homes, kitchens, bathrooms and more. Seeing the smiles on the faces of my clients have brought me joy. To see them return home, in a new space, is rewarding.
Although this is my first blog post and it is a year later, this experience is teaching me that as you rebuild, you refuel and you grow. You experience ups and downs. You explore your soul, your talents and you test your strength, but you never give up on your dreams. You hold on to your faith, and you move forward with new found drive and desire each day to make a difference in the lives of others. A year later, I have moved forward and looking ahead to the future renovating one house at a time.
