What is inside each week

The tip

One thing worth doing around the house

Seasonal and specific to northwest suburbs homes. This week's: shut down your outdoor faucets before the first hard freeze, a ten minute job that prevents the most common winter pipe burst.

The deals

Verified offers from local pros

Every week we read the websites of the directory's 141 businesses and pull the real offers. Each one in the email was read on the company's own site that week, with the end date checked. Expired coupons do not make the cut.

The read

One guide worth your time

A guide or article from the directory, plus a short mortgage note from Ryan Drum, a local loan officer, for anyone weighing a refinance, a purchase, or a HELOC.

From this week's issue (checked November 4, 2026)

Offers change; the newsletter checks them fresh every week. Terms and eligibility are on each company's website.

The fine print, in plain words

Free, always. One email a week. Your address is never sold or shared, and every issue has an unsubscribe link that works in one click. The letter is published by the Northwest Home Services Directory in Rolling Meadows. Prefer reading on the web? Issues also live at our Beehiiv page: ryans-newsletter-2cf534.beehiiv.com.
