Visitors at the 2011 Tour of Remodeled Homes

Great Turnout at the 2011 Tour of Remodeled Homes

Hundreds of visitors came through the 9 homes on the 2011 Tour of Remodeled Homes this past weekend. Visitors had a chance to meet and see the quality of work from some of the top remodelers in San Antonio – KM Builders, Hill Bros. Custom Homes, Lone Star Remodeling And Renovations, Greenwood Custom Homes, and J Angelo Design.

Visitors saw amazing kitchens, room additions, and whole home renovations throughout the Tour of Remodeled Homes. While touring the homes visitors also learned about the mission of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry and our focus on the professionalism of the remodeling industry. The next Tour will be here before we know it, so area remodelers are already cultivating their entries for next year!

NARI at the Fall Home in Garden Show

The San Antonio Chapter of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry was on display at the 2011 San Antonio Fall Home and Garden Show.

Thanks to everyone who came by to see us at our booth including the Silver Dancers!
