Fifteen years of connecting homeowners with the pros worth hiring

Kevin Harrer came from marketing and runs Ugly Duck Marketing, the agency that still designs the ads and builds the mailing strategy. Jarrett Jamieson owns several local businesses; it was his home-improvement companies, including Perfect Home Products, that pushed him into marketing and proved the model issue after issue.

The Bakersfield edition came first. Fresno/Clovis followed, and in 2026 a third edition launched on the Central Coast.

The book carries home-improvement businesses and nothing else. It keeps the reader engaged with their home rather than sidetracked, and it means every advertiser is in front of people who are already thinking about the house.

Our art department designs and updates every ad in the book. David Vanderpool directs art for both editions. Each market has its own rep, and the people behind the magazine have run home-improvement companies themselves, so we understand advertising from the contractor's side of the desk.

In September 2026, Bakersfield Home Magazine became Bakersfield Home Pros and Fresno/Clovis Home Magazine became Fresno/Clovis Home Pros. The new name says what the magazine has always done: connect local homeowners with qualified home professionals.
