Insider Series Coming...

I hope everyone had a tremendous holiday and a Happy New Year! Santa was very good to me and mine, so I cannot complain about anything going into 2008.

This year is shaping up to be an interesting year for construction, homebuilding and remodeling. Although we have heard ALL the horror stories about the mortgage mess and declining interest in Real Estate, one of the bright spots is that now is a great time to buy or remodel the existing home you're in now. When the housing industry slumps, many homeowners decide to stay put and remodel or add onto their existing home. Great Idea...just make sure you know a little bit about what you're getting into and who is doing the work.

I am starting a new interview series this year that will focus on sub-contractors and businesses that are a part of the remodeling project or important to the finished product. This series will include framers, plumbers, lighting galleries, painters, flooring companies and bath & kitchen fixture stores to name a few. I am looking forward to learning more about new products and techniques they use along with sharing some of the secrets of remodeling.

If you have any specific questions, feel free to drop them in the comments section.
