Are you thinking about renovating, remodeling, or sprucing up your home? Before starting any home improvement project, it’s important to thoroughly research and find the right contractors and vendors for the job. The most convenient way to compare vendors side-by-side is by attending a home show.
Home shows offer everything home-related under one roof. From kitchen and bath remodels to windows, siding, roofing, flooring, landscaping, and more — you’ll discover a wide range of home improvement specialists to suit your needs. Wondering what types of vendors exhibit at home shows? Here’s an expanded overview:
The heart of any home show lies in large renovation companies that specialize in major home remodeling and construction projects — kitchen overhauls, bathroom makeovers, additions, expansions, whole-home remodels, and more. These companies have the experience, personnel, tools, and resources to take on transformative home projects both inside and out.
Vendors that fall into this category include:
General contractors provide start-to-finish project management for all types of renovations. Residential builders specialize in new home construction but also handle additions. Kitchen and bath remodelers overhaul two of the most important rooms in your home. Architects design aesthetically pleasing spaces, while interior designers decorate them. Structural engineers ensure integrity.
The benefit of connecting with these vendors at home shows is the opportunity to view project photo galleries, discuss designs and budgets, and evaluate capabilities hands-on.
Enhancing your outdoor living space can greatly improve your enjoyment of your home and even increase its value. This section overviews the types of landscaping vendors you’ll find at home shows.
Landscaping vendors provide services to help homeowners enhance their exterior spaces:
You’ll also find vendors specializing in outdoor structures, kitchens, irrigation, lighting, garden tools/plants, and more. Home shows enable you to get landscaping project estimates on-site.
Replacing worn or outdated windows and doors provides one of the best returns-on-investment for home upgrades. Discover what to expect from these vendors at home shows.
At shows, browse window/door suppliers and installation pros specializing in:
Reputable vendors offer professional installation services alongside product sales. Expect to see product samples demonstrating operation and insulative properties first-hand.
From carpet and hardwood to tile, concrete, stone, vinyl and more — home shows connect homeowners with flooring showrooms and specialists offering attractive pricing. Shop waterproof floors for kitchens/bathrooms, budget-friendly carpets for bedrooms, durable hardwoods for living areas, and specialized commercial flooring.
Flooring is one of the most tactile parts of a home. The benefit of attending a show is getting to see and touch different flooring types to determine what best suits your lifestyle and design aesthetics before purchase.
It takes a lot of behind-the-scenes mechanics to keep homes running smoothly year-round. Home shows provide access to trusted specialists in heating/cooling, electrical, plumbing, roofing, insulation, waterproofing, cleaning/restoration, and more — all services needed to maintain home system operations.
Vendors you’ll meet include HVAC companies, electricians, plumbers, roofers, insulation contractors, gutter/eavestrough specialists, basement waterproofers, mold removal services, air duct cleaners and hardware suppliers. Getting to know these providers before emergency issues occur is invaluable.
Home shows also enable you to shop for furniture, décor, linens and housewares from local artisans, crafters and boutiques. While selection is often limited compared to dedicated furniture stores, home shows let you discover new designers and find one-of-a-kind pieces.
