The HOME Show: Timberlake Centennial Celebration & Pro Carpet Care Tips with Kidd's Restoration

Jul 2, 2026 · 43 min

Welcome to another exciting episode of The HOME Show! In today's scorching summer edition, hosts Trish Roth (Publisher of HOME magazine) and Rich Roth, alongside producer Ashley, bring you local insights and expert advice from around Central Virginia.

First, we dive into the high-tech world of home automation in this week’s “On the Right Track” with Jake Nuckols from DoorTek Garage Door Service & Phantom Screens of Central Virginia, discussing how smartphones, battery backups, and modern LED lighting are changing the garage game.

Next, we sit down with Timber Lake residents Joan Frost and Jill Markwood to celebrate the historic community’s incredible 100-year centennial. They share fascinating stories from the lake's post-WWI origins, the historic Timberlake Tavern and how the resilient neighborhood rallied together to rebuild after the catastrophic 1995 dam failure. Plus, details on their big public Family Day and fireworks celebration!.

Finally, Dan Taylor with Kidd’s Restoration & Cleaning Services joins us to break down the science of carpet and upholstery maintenance. Learn why truck-mounted cleaning beats DIY grocery store rentals, the truth about bagless vacuums and how to protect high-end area rugs from accidental stains.
