Whew! It’s been a busy several weeks!

February 3rd, 2010

Whew! It’s been a busy several weeks. We’re still working on a list of topics to address here. We plan to focus on the questions we hear most often from customers, and the projects that are in greatest demand. Any suggestions? Let us know.

In the meantime, we extend an invitation to visit Connor Remodeling & Design at the 48th annual Milwaukee/NARI Home Improvement Show. This is Wisconsin’s biggest home improvement and remodeling show, and it draws thousands of visitors each year.

Mark your calendar, because you don’t want to miss it: Feb. 11-14 at the Wisconsin Exposition Center at State Fair Park. Doors open at 11 a.m. the first two days and 10 a.m. on the weekend.

Connor Remodeling & Design will be in Booth 219, located near the main entrance. Stop by and say “Hi,” then take in a bevy of seminars and demonstrations by home improvement experts. If some look familiar, it’s because you might have seen them on HGTV!

Similarly, if you enjoy good food – who doesn’t, right? – be sure to catch the cooking demonstration stage. There might be a few recognizable faces there, too. Some prominent local chefs will be working their culinary magic, along with national cooking celebrities from FOX and Bravo.

The show has more than 300 exhibitors, so allow plenty of time to take it all in. This year’s theme is “Put a Little Love in Your Home” which, while encouraging, doesn’t quite sum it all up. We suggest that you put a lot of love into your home, so that it can be a place of true comfort and enjoyment.

Here’s a hint: Go to the show’s web site and get a coupon for $2 off admission. The link is near the bottom of the page.

We are very pleased and proud to have received a first-place award for “Best Show Booth” at the MBA Home Building & Remodeling Expo in January. Above all, we appreciated the many people who stopped by to chat or bounce ideas off us.

We hope to meet many more at the Milwaukee/NARI show. These events are your chance to really learn what’s out there and, hopefully, expand the possibilities for your home. It’s your space – make it fit your dreams!

Welcome to our inaugural blog post! We’ll be posting all sorts of useful information here about remodeling trends and topics. Your questions and ideas are always welcome.

For the immediate moment, we invite you to visit Connor Remodeling & Design at the Metropolitan Builders Association Home Building & Remodeling Expo. The show is Jan. 7-10 at the Midwest Airlines Center in downtown Milwaukee. We’re in Booth 742, which is pretty much right in the middle of the show floor.

If you’ve been considering a remodeling project or home addition, you’ll find this event to be time well spent. Bring an open mind and an inquisitive attitude. This show is all about making your home brighter, more useful and, above all, more enjoyable.

Besides the hundreds of exhibitors’ showcases, the Saturday and Sunday event schedules are filled with seminars on planning creatively, building smart and saving money in a new or existing home.

Need more incentive? Connor Remodeling & Design has some free tickets. Contact Kevin Connor if you’re interested – just use the “e-mail us” application on the web site.

The new year is here! Let this be the year that your remodeling dream becomes a reality. The MBA show is a great place to start. Be sure to stop by Booth 742 and say “hi.”
