“The phone's ringing off the hook where we just physically can't get to it all. And it's you know, so we have supply chain issues. We have issues with hiring help," said Tim Freeland of Freeland Home Remodelers.
"We all feel it's important to take some time, even though we're really really busy right now, take some time out and get back to give back to the community as it were," he added.
The team will be in Hartford for the remainder of the day to work on the homes.
