EVEN IN THE AGE OF "PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE," NOTHING WEARS OUT FASTER THAN PEOPLE'S PATIENCE FOR THE TYPE OF DAMAGE THAT JUST SEEMS TO KEEP ON HAPPENING IN THE HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS OF THEIR HOMES AND BUILDINGS.

AS A PROFIT OPPORTUNITY FOR THOSE WHO SELL THE RIGHT PROTECTION, THOSE DOLLARS ADD UP. AND THE RIGHT PROTECTION IS TRI-GUARDS PROTECTION.
