WELCOME TO NOBLESVILLE!
On behalf of the City of Noblesville and as Mayor of my hometown, I’m pleased to have you in Indiana’s ninth-largest city. Noblesville is home to more than 75,000 residents and is the proud home of outstanding amenities, including over 875 acres of parkland, more than 300 miles of trails, connector sidewalks and greenways throughout the community, Hamilton Town Center mall, a historic downtown square, and the internationally recognized Ruoff Music Center.
Last year, The Arena at Innovation Mile officially opened at Innovation Mile,
Noblesville’s 600-acre master planned innovation, tech, sports, and entertainment district on the city’s east side. The Arena is home to the Indiana Pacers’ G-League affiliate, the Noblesville Boom. This district is also the future home of the USA Gymnastics Training & Wellness Center.
Exciting developments are underway across our city. We continue to invest in trails, parks, infrastructure, culture, and housing. This year, the Embrace Downtown project began. This multi-phase project will improve infrastructure, enhance pedestrian safety, introduce beautification upgrades, and keep our historic downtown thriving.
I’m honored to serve my community and play a role in shaping its future through engaged and proactive leadership. My administration is focused on four key priorities: workforce and economic development, downtown culture and recreation, public health and safety, and roads and infrastructure.
Our top priority is ensuring Noblesville remains a safe and welcoming community. We continue to invest in public safety

and mental health resources, including our NobleACT program, which provides critical support to those in need. We are proud to be named the 12th safest suburb in the U.S. by SmartAsset, thanks to our strong public safety initiatives, and look forward to breaking ground on a new police department headquarters and acquiring land for a new fire station.
I hope you check out everything Noblesville has to offer. You’ll see firsthand what makes Noblesville special and the best place to live, work, play, and stay. Here, you’ll discover a true sense of community and neighbors who genuinely care for one another. It’s what makes our city special.
If you have any questions or suggestions on how we can continue improving our city for current and future residents, please reach out to a member of my team or me.
Sincerely,
Chris Jensen Mayor, City of Noblesville
SERVING NOBLESVILLE
CHIEF BRAD ARNOLD LEADS NOBLESVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT INTO THE FUTURE
Writer / Ashley Dykton
With over three decades of experience on the force, Brad Arnold was appointed chief of the Noblesville Police Department in October 2025 by Mayor Chris Jensen to succeed retired Chief John Mann.
“I cannot thank Mayor Jensen enough for his leadership and trust in giving me this opportunity to lead these amazing men and women at NPD,” Arnold says.
Chief Arnold was destined to work in public safety. His father spent nearly 40 years as part of the Fortville Fire Department, where he served for many years as the fire chief, and his brother, who followed in their father’s footsteps, has been a firefighter for the Indianapolis Fire Department for over 25 years. Chief Arnold was briefly an engineering major at Purdue University before attending Vincennes University to pursue a degree in criminal justice.
“I was fortunate enough to be hired at Noblesville back in 1993, and I have spent my entire career with this outstanding department! Quite honestly, I never aspired to be a chief when I started, but throughout my career I have been driven to pursue positions and take on responsibilities where I felt I was needed,” Arnold says.
For Chief Arnold and his officers, there is no greater responsibility than to protect and serve Noblesville.
“If you look at one of our patrol vehicles, you will see ‘Protect & Serve.’ That simple phrase means so much to us. We put just as much effort and time into serving our community as we do protecting it,” Arnold says.
In the beginning of 2020, the Noblesville Police Department started to implement guiding principles, and Chief Arnold wants to maintain these principles to continue offering an exceptional level of public safety for the community because it has been so instrumental to the success of their policing.
“Last year, Noblesville was ranked the 12th safest suburb nationally and was ranked 1st in Indiana. We had over 57,600 police interactions with the public in 2025 and made over 1,500 arrests, yet had zero sustained complaints as a result. Our officers are professionals, work hard, keep crime out of Noblesville and do so in a way in which our community engagement has gained true appreciation, respect and support by our residents,” Arnold says.
With Noblesville continuing to grow, the Noblesville Police Department executive staff works in collaboration with Mayor Jensen’s office and city officials to ensure that public safety needs are accurately met when new developments and businesses are planned.
“We have a very supportive mayor and City Council. For 2026, approximately 55% of the city’s operational budget is directed toward public safety. This provides us the necessary funding to maintain effective staffing, training and equipment to continue to bring an unmatched level of service and safety to our community, and we cannot thank them enough for their ongoing support to NPD,” Arnold says.
Chief Arnold also understands that to stay current with the 21st century, he needs to adapt with advancements in technology.
“So many advances in law enforcement technology and software are occurring right now, and implementing responsible public safety tools and projects will greatly enhance our capabilities at NPD,” Arnold says.
These types of initiatives include the Drone First Responder (DFR) and the Real Time Information Center (RTIC) programs.
The Drone First Responder program responds to a 911 dispatch call by having a trained police officer initiate a drone response to the incident location.
“Through the DFR program, we have located missing and wanted persons, located driving complaints, tracked vehicle pursuits, and helped to identify suspects and vehicles involved in crimes which, at times, have led to arrests that may not have happened otherwise,” Arnold says.
The Real Time Information Center (RTIC) is a new program associated with the DFR program that assists officers and crime analysts from the Sheriff’s Department, and the Carmel and Noblesville police departments.
To Chief Arnold, the people he has had the privilege of working alongside have been an important part of his career.
“I have been fortunate to have experienced many things during my career, but what is truly meaningful to me are not the moments, but rather the people I have been blessed to work with over all these years,” Arnold says.
Looking forward to his tenure, Chief Arnold says, “I am excited for the future, and there is much more to come from NPD. For me, there is no better job than being a police officer, and to be able to serve and protect the city where I live is truly special.”
CULINARY JOURNEY
MICHAEL CHRISTENSEN LEADS CULINARY VISION
FOR
“When I was seven years old, we moved here from Michigan and to celebrate our move and my dad’s new job, he took us to this restaurant called St. Elmo Steak House in downtown Indianapolis and it was phenomenal. It was an amazing experience that I’ll never forget.”
Now, 50 years later, Michael Christensen has created an extensive résumé filled with culinary excellence and a full-circle moment — being able to create those experiences for guests as the director of culinary operations for Huse Culinary, the restaurant group
HUSE RESTAURANTS
Writer / Ashley Dykton Photographer / Chris Courtney
behind the famous St. Elmo Steak House and Harry & Izzy’s.
“Food is my way of making people happy. That’s what I love about my job. My passion for food has always been in me in a way. My dad was a great cook, and my grandmother was an amazing cook. I was inspired by her and my dad. I used to love to watch Justin Wilson, Julia Child and Emeril Lagasse on TV and that’s where a lot of my inspiration came from,” Christensen says.
Christensen, a local Noblesville graduate, attended Johnson & Wales University in Charleston, South Carolina, graduating in 1991. After completing an internship in Nashville, Tennessee, Christensen returned home to central Indiana to start his career as a chef.
“After my internship, I came home and went to work for a steakhouse company in Indianapolis as a chef and then eventually became a corporate chef and ran four restaurants around the Indianapolis area. In 1997, a company came into the city called Sullivan’s Steakhouse. They were
part of the Del Frisco’s Restaurant Group and they recruited me to open a restaurant at Keystone at the Crossing. I worked for that company for 20 years, working my way through the ranks starting as a chef and then becoming a corporate brand chef for the Sullivan’s brand. I had 18 restaurants around the country as far away as Anchorage, Alaska,” Christensen says.
Then in 2017, Christensen had the opportunity to become the director of culinary operations for Huse Culinary. A position that is focused on “all things culinary,” Christensen’s responsibilities include hiring and training sous chefs and chefs, developing recipes and menus and maintaining kitchen standards for all the Huse Culinary brands.
“I was familiar with the ownership and knew that they were good people and it would be a great company to work for. I was right, it’s a wonderful atmosphere and a really good company,” Christensen says about Huse Culinary.
Christensen says the growth of Huse Culinary over the last 10 years has been
an amazing thing to see and to be a part of, adding that his goals and what he envisioned for his role as director of culinary operations and for Huse Culinary are exactly what is happening now.
“Right now, we have eight restaurants with all our restaurants in the Indianapolis and surrounding areas. We’re currently in the process of building a Harry & Izzy’s restaurant in Paradise Valley, Arizona, and we have future plans for more restaurants out in that area. And we continue to finetune and develop craveable recipes and menu items that guests can’t wait to come back and have again,” Christensen says. The thing Christensen is most proud of through his work with Huse Culinary is the
culinary team he has built, saying his chefs and sous chefs are phenomenal. Christensen credits his success to his colleagues, appreciating them as people and stressing the importance of morale and teamwork.
“I’m only as good as the chefs in my restaurants and any credit that I have also goes to the people on my team. I appreciate them and I make sure that I know them and know their interests. It’s an honor for me to lead the people that I work with because they’re all amazing,” Christensen says.
He adds, “I know my people. I know them not just as chefs and sous chefs and cooks in my restaurants but I know them as people. I know their families, I know their wives’
names, kids’ names and they value and appreciate that because whenever we’re together we’re not just talking about the restaurant and food — we’re talking about life and each other.”
To Christensen, it is very important to be a leader that people will want to work for and with. He says his biggest piece of advice to aspiring chefs is simple.
“You have to be someone that people want to work for. The chefs that we see on TV, like Gordon Ramsay, that’s acting. You have to treat people with respect. Get to know the people around you and don’t just treat them like an employee or a number — treat them like a person.”

For James Porter, owner of PorterHouse Contracting, business success means building lasting relationships and strengthening the community, not just finishing projects. That philosophy recently took center stage when Porter’s company secured the naming rights to PorterHouse Contracting Field at the former Noblesville High School football stadium, now home to Noblesville Miller Lacrosse.
Though PorterHouse Contracting is a young company, it quickly became a trusted local name. Porter founded it five years ago to pursue small-business ownership on his own terms.
“I had kind of outgrown some of my previous business relationships,” Porter says. “It just felt like the right time to take the next step and build something of my own.”
Currently, PorterHouse Contracting primarily does insurance-related restoration work, including fire, flood and mold damage, accounting for about 70% of its business. The rest focuses on kitchen and bathroom remodels. Depending on demand, the balance shifts, but both services enable the company to help homeowners with renovations or unexpected crises.
While the business continues to grow, Porter has always been intentional about keeping the company rooted in the local community. That commitment is one reason
he pursued the opportunity to sponsor the Noblesville stadium.
Porter’s link to the school is personal. While not a Noblesville High School graduate, his children attend Noblesville schools and play sports, especially lacrosse. Attending stadium events inspired his decision.
“We’ve spent a lot of time there over the years,” Porter says. “When the namingrights opportunity came up through the athletic department, we were able to put our hat in the ring.”
After demonstrating that PorterHouse Contracting was a stable, established local business, the company secured the naming rights. Porter invested $37,500 in the fiveyear agreement.
For Porter, it was never just about advertising.
“I’d rather put our marketing dollars into the education department and the school system than spend them elsewhere,” he says. “It’s about supporting the community.”
Funds from the naming-rights agreement are directed to a school account that supports programs across the entire district. This sponsorship ensures that if departments or activities fall short during fundraising — such as for music trips or academic events — the school can allocate

LOCAL BUSINESS OWNER SUPPORTS NOBLESVILLE SCHOOLS THROUGH STADIUM PARTNERSHIP
those sponsorship funds, allowing students to participate without adding financial strain on families.
It’s not just a name on a stadium sign. It’s part of a broader effort to strengthen opportunities for students throughout the district. Porter and his family also stay involved through the Miller Backers program, volunteering at concession stands and assisting with athletic events.
For Porter, hearing stadium announcements referencing PorterHouse Contracting carries a special sense of pride, especially when his own children are among the student-athletes competing on the field.
“There’s definitely a sense of pride when you hear the name,” he says. “But it goes beyond our family. It’s a pride for the business and for the community.”
Porter hopes the partnership inspires students and families throughout Noblesville.
“With hard work and determination, you can build something meaningful,” he says. “And when you’re able to give back to the community that supports you, that’s really what success is about.”

IVY TECH DAY TO RALLY COMMUNITY SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS ACROSS HAMILTON COUNTY
Ivy Tech Hamilton County is preparing to celebrate its annual 24-hour day of giving, Ivy Tech Day, on Tuesday, April 21, 2026. Ivy Tech Day is a statewide celebration that highlights the life-changing role the College plays in strengthening Indiana’s workforce and expanding access to higher education. The event will bring together students, alumni, faculty, staff, board members and partners for a day centered on opportunity, impact, and philanthropy.
This year, the Hamilton County campus aims to raise $45,000 in unrestricted support and has adopted the theme “Hog Wild for Ivy Tech,” a nod to campus pride
and its mascot, Boris the Wild Boar. Throughout the 24-hour event, supporters are encouraged to share messages of encouragement on social media to amplify the importance of accessible, high-quality education and make a gift at ivytech.edu/ giveday.
“Funds raised on Ivy Tech Day support important upgrades in classrooms that enhance teaching and learning, help expand capacity in high-demand programs and reduce barriers to student success, including creating more welcoming student spaces on campus,” says Chancellor Rachel Kartz. “Ivy Tech Day is about more than dollars
– it is about opportunities. Every gift, at any size, opens opportunity for students and strengthens the future of the entire community.”
To build excitement and encourage participation, the community can participate in several challenges. As part of the day’s momentum, OneAmerica Financial Foundation will match gifts made between 12 AM and 9 AM up to $5,000 through the “Lead the Herd” challenge. Now in its third year supporting Ivy Tech Hamilton County, OneAmerica Financial Foundation continues to invest in Ivy Tech students and strengthen the local workforce.
“OneAmerica Financial Foundation believes education is one of the most powerful ways to create opportunity and build stronger communities,” says Allen McClendon, Community Affairs Director, OneAmerica Financial. “Our Foundation’s partnership with Ivy Tech Hamilton County reflects our commitment to helping students gain the skills, credentials and confidence needed to succeed. Our OneAmerica family is proud to support the students whose determination and talent will shape the future of Hamilton County and beyond.”
In addition to online challenges, the campus will host an on-site celebration from 11 AM to 2 PM. Guests can stop by to create a bracelet at a “Wild for Style” bracelet bar, participate in fun games, and enjoy food and music while learning more about the impact of Ivy Tech in the community.
“Many Ivy Tech students balance work,
family responsibilities and coursework while pursuing degrees and certifications that lead to stronger career opportunities,” says Campus Board Chair Chuck Haberman. “Donations made between 12 AM and 11:59 PM on April 21 will provide resources that help Hamilton County students to focus on their education, persist through challenges and achieve their goals.”
While fundraising is central to the day, Ivy Tech Day is also a celebration of the College’s impact across Hamilton County. The campus continues to grow as a hub for workforce development, offering pathways that lead directly to careers in nursing, health sciences, information technology, business, and other high-demand fields. Students gain hands-on experience, earn industry-recognized credentials, and often enter the workforce more quickly and with less debt.
“As a veteran, a Hamilton County resident and a student pursuing computer science,
Ivy Tech has given me the opportunity to build a new path for my future,” says Haele, an IT student and Philanthropy Assistant on campus. “Being part of the team working to raise $45,000 on Ivy Tech Day is especially meaningful because I know firsthand how much support like this matters. It helps students like me stay focused on school, gain real-world experience and move closer to a career in a field we’re passionate about.”
As April 21 approaches, the Hamilton County campus is encouraging supporters to mark their calendars and consider how they can make a difference. Whether through a financial gift, by becoming a Social Ambassador, or with a simple social media post, every action helps expand opportunities for local students.
To make a gift on April 21, or to sign up to fundraise as a Social Ambassador on behalf of the Hamilton County campus, visit ivytech.edu/giveday.

K SPRAY TANS
LOCAL MOM LAUNCHES PERSONALIZED IN-HOME SPRAY TAN STUDIO
Writer / Ashley Dykton
“I enjoy getting to help other women look good and feel good about themselves,” says Kari Mitchell, owner of K Spray Tans.
Kari Mitchell is a local wife and mother of two college-aged boys who, a year ago, found herself wanting to pursue a home business now that her children were starting to leave home.
“I started researching and trying to decide how, after being a stay-at-home mom and homeschooling my boys, I wanted to build a business that I could run from home,” Mitchell says.
One of the businesses she researched was an in-home spray tan studio. Having an in-home spray tan studio was a way Mitchell could offer professional-level spray tans in a more intimate and clientcentered environment.
“I saw a gap between full-service spas
and quick tanning booths and I wanted something in the middle where I could deliver professional-level results in a small, relaxed, low-pressure setting,” Mitchell says.
To prepare for this venture, Mitchell had the support of her husband, who helped construct a spray tan studio in their home last spring and summer, with K Spray Tans officially opening last fall.
“My husband and I built a studio in our home last spring and summer and then we opened it this fall. I invested in all the equipment and the supplies and began building clients through word of mouth and social media and it’s just grown steadily from there,” Mitchell says.
Focused on building a steady base of clients, Mitchell is proud of the space she has created, but even more so of the personalized level of detail she gives to her clients. It’s more than a spray tan but a way
to make people feel more comfortable in and with their skin.
At K Spray Tans, Mitchell starts each appointment with a consultation, talking with the client about their skin tone, what they are looking for, what their end result will look like and how to maintain it.
“I don’t use a one-color-fits-all approach. I adjust the solution for every client based on the individual and their skin coloring. Some people want a really dark tan while others want a more natural color, so the tan is customized based on what the client wants. I walk you through the positions and apply the tan in a few minutes and then we use a finishing powder. I’m really meticulous about areas like hands, feet and joints so that the tan looks natural,” Mitchell says.
For best results, Mitchell says it’s best to exfoliate and shave the day before getting the tan and to arrive at the session with
clean skin free of any products. K Spray Tans sends out a text message prior to the appointment explaining the preparation steps.
“Twenty-four to 48 hours before the appointment complete all waxing, shaving, manicures, pedicures, facials and massages. The day before, thoroughly exfoliate your entire body, especially joint areas like elbows, knees, ankles, feet and hands. Avoid heavy, oily products on the skin on the day of your appointment and arrive with clean, product-free skin with no lotions, perfumes, oils, deodorants or makeup. It is highly recommended to wear dark, loose-fitting clothing and sandals or flip-flops to prevent lines.”
Just like the level of care she gives her clients during the spray tan process, Mitchell also focuses on using high-quality products that include DHA (dihydroxyacetone), an important ingredient that creates a naturallooking tan without UV exposure.
“The products that I use have DHA as the active ingredient, which reacts with the top layer of the skin to create the temporary color. I use professional formulas that give a natural-looking color with minimal odor. That’s one thing my clients have told me already — that compared to a lot of other brands, the odor is not strong,” Mitchell says.
Mitchell also stresses that even though spray tans give you a tan color without dangerous UV exposure, a spray tan does not replace sunscreen.
Mitchell is finding joy in her work and loving not only the results for her clients but hearing their feedback.
“I enjoy getting to help other women look good and feel good about themselves. In general, the tan makes you feel good. I love seeing those results and I really enjoy hearing the feedback from my clients. They’ll text me a day or two later and send me a picture and let me know how the tan
NOBLESVILLE HEALTHCARE
made them feel better about themselves and made them look and feel good. That’s really empowering and makes me enjoy what I do,” Mitchell says.
Currently, K Spray Tans offers a standard tan and rapid tan for a single session, as well as pass options of either an unlimited month pass or a six-month pass. The difference between a standard tan and a rapid tan is shower time and tan development. With a standard tan, the solution should remain on your skin for at least eight hours to develop gradually overnight, while a rapid tan allows you to rinse in two to five hours depending on how dark you want your tan to be. K Spray Tans also offers a Group Glow option for groups of four or more, perfect for weddings, events or girls’ nights.

TRUSTED CRAFT
HOMETOWN WINDOW & DOOR COMPANY FOCUSES ON SERVICE & PRECISION
Writer / Abbie Willans
With spring weather and storms on the horizon, homeowners may be thinking about the cost and hassle of replacing windows. Hometown Window and Door Company is a locally owned business that can provide central Indiana residents with any of their exterior household needs.
The company is an authorized dealer of Andersen products, the largest window and door manufacturer in North America. It’s owned by Noblesville residents Darren Peck and Dan Hanlin, who opened the business in February 2022.
“We could have sold any product we wanted, but we chose to sell Andersen products because it’s such high-quality,” Peck says. “You don’t end up being the oldest window and door company in the U.S. without having the highest quality product on the market.”
“Andersen is a household name; it was founded the same year that John Deere, Coca-Cola and Ford were founded, in 1903. People associate Andersen with quality, and with a product that lasts,” says Hometown sales manager Udi Abdelhak.
“For a normal dealership, the focus is on the product. We focus on the full-service residential replacement model. We focus most of our time and attention on measuring, ordering, installing, warranting and servicing every window that we sell. Our focus is unique in regards to an Andersen dealer,” Abdelhak continues.
Hometown Window and Door Company also services patio doors and entry doors. They can do a full custom entry door with dozens of different wood grains, stains, paints and configurations, and they’re expanding the roofing and siding line of the business.
“We do a lot of out-of-the-box work, like four-season rooms, conversions to sunrooms and home add-ons; we can pretty much say ‘yes’ to any customer on anything exterior that they want to do,” Abdelhak says.
“What really sets us apart is how we treat
our customers. We’re not just selling windows and doors, we’re helping people improve their homes, and that’s something we take seriously. Being locally owned, we care about our reputation and our community, so we go the extra mile to make sure the job is done right and the customer is happy,” says customer experience manager Sarah.
She says that she began working at Hometown Window and Door because she was looking for an opportunity to be a part of a company that genuinely cares about its
customers and the community. She’s now worked there for three years.
In addition to residential homes, Hometown Window and Door Company updated the windows in the Hamilton County Courthouse last year, and they’ll be working on the Henry County Courthouse in New Castle in 2026.
“There are historical districts and homeowners associations that are difficult to get a window approved in, and that’s why having access to all five of the Andersen
“I’m 100% happy that I chose Hometown Window and Door Company for my Anderson replacement windows. From start to finish, everyone and everything done was professional, thorough, and top quality. Sarah, Hudi, Matt, and Julian were so friendly and accommodating, and did more than the minimum.. It wasn’t like having strangers in my home. I have more windows to replace in the future, and am looking forward to having them complete those jobs as well. Their prices are significantly less than another replacement estimate I received, and I couldn’t be happier with the end result. My replacement windows look like the originals, only more fresh, beautiful, and energy efficient, and all the windows open with ease, unlike my old ones. You won’t regret giving them a call and checking them out.” —Carla
window lines is helpful to get the right fit for any specific situation,” Abdelhak explains.
These include the energy-efficient A-Series window, with a fiberglass exterior sash, the customizable E-Series, which can be made as large as 8 by 10 feet, and the Fibrex 100 Series window, with a compositebased extruded frame that offers a better alternative to vinyl windows.
“More often than not, the extremely large windows will actually save customers money because they end up purchasing a smaller quantity of windows using Hometown’s conversion design techniques,” Peck says. “Instead of customers buying five windows, they are buying one window: half the cost and twice the view.”
“A lot of people have never seen anything like it,” he adds. “Most competitors’ windows can’t be made that big because the framing isn’t strong enough. Andersen products are superior. Plastic and vinyl
windows just don’t hold up like an Andersen product.”
“Some customers come in thinking all window companies offer the same thing, just at different price points. The truth is that the quality of the product and the expertise of the installation team can vary a lot. We spend time educating customers, so they understand exactly what they’re getting and why it matters for their home long term,” Sarah continues.
Abdelhak advises that vinyl windows don’t tend to last more than five to 10 years, as the plastic material is heated and cooled repeatedly from season to season. Even wooden frames are not immune to this, and they can pull away from the wall and begin leaking air. Not only can a new window lower the utility bill, they can also provide protection from the sun.
“Ultraviolet rays that pass through windows can damage carpet, flooring, furniture, art,
and can heat up a room. Andersen frames and glass block over 98% of harmful UV rays that come in through the window,” Abdelhak says.
“A lot of people think buying windows is just picking a style and getting the cheapest quote, but there’s a lot more that goes into it. Things like energy efficiency, long-term durability and especially installation make a huge difference. Another misconception is that it’s going to be a stressful or drawnout process, but with the right company, it can actually be really smooth and straightforward,” Sarah says.
Homeowners may think they need to replace all of their windows at once in order for them to match, but that is not the case. Abdelhak says that 9 times out of 10, they can match the windows that the customer already has, so they don’t need to replace anything unnecessarily.
“We are a unique, tiny business out of Hamilton County. We don’t play games with pricing, and we don’t show 10 different prices and then discount heavily to get people’s business. We have expectations from Andersen; it’s difficult to obtain a dealership. They have high standards. We have to sell and install with morality,” he says.
“At Hometown Window and Door, we believe your home deserves more than just windows and doors, it deserves quality care and results that last. Our team is here to make the process easy, stress-free and truly worthwhile for every homeowner,” Sarah says.
The company will have representatives at the Flower and Patio Show in Indianapolis, as well as the Indiana Peony Festival in Noblesville, to answer any questions.
Hometown Window and Door Company is currently running a promotion for 15 months, 0% financing, as well as a promotion for buying four windows and getting two free. For more information, visit hometownwindowteam.com or call 317659-6293.
