What do other members say?

“We had two homes on the Tour featuring kitchen remodels. We had over 250 people tour each house. In the six weeks after the Tour, we’ve had five appointments, two of which have resulted in contracts. And we just got another call yesterday. We say the Remodeled Homes Tour is the gift that keeps on giving! Want results? Try the Tour!”

Mary Thompson, CR, CRPM, UDCP, Architectural Craftsmen

“We’ve recently met with a couple that are ready to remodel and they told me that the Remodeled Homes Tour is the only place they go to find quality contractors. That alone is a great reason that Schloegel Design Remodel continues to participate in the Remodeled Homes Tour year after year.”

Donna Kirsopp, CKBR, Schloegel Design Remodel

“MSC Enterprises entered the Remodeled Homes Tour for the 15th year in a row in 2019! We are proud to say that every year we enter projects that have been sold from the previous year’s Remodeled Homes Tour. The Tour is a great opportunity to showcase your work for one weekend to ready-to-remodel consumers. Be proud of your work and enter it in the Tour!”

Austin Cornell, MSC Enterprises Inc.

“The Remodeled Homes Tour consistently generates high-quality projects year after year for our company. It allows us to market our skills in a way only possible with face-to-face interaction with ready-to-remodel consumers. Because it is my favorite lead source, I make every effort to do it first class!”

Terry Skilling, CR, Rhino Builders Remodel + Design

What do homeowners say?

It’s a worthwhile experience! I recommend that the homeowner also be there. Many times, visitors want to talk to the homeowner, not the remodeler—to get the real scoop on the project—from the homeowner’s perspective.
We left Saturday for the entire day, Sunday for part of the time. It was easier to be gone the whole time.
Remember the experience is a whole lot of fun.
It was a very good experience. I would do it again!
Just do it…our contractor deserved praise for the good work he did. I hope he gets some business from the Tour.
We opted to stay home and to conduct our own tours through our home. It was exciting and exhausting! Board your pets.
We had a blast! It was a big commitment, but so was the remodel project! The people touring was respectful of our home!
Put remotes out of sight.
Clearly mark any “off-limits” areas.
Contractor arrived both days in plenty of time for us to pack up dogs and leave before anyone else showed up for the Tour.
The house was neat and clean afterwards.
Have quick-to-grab snacks available for those who are “working” your project.
Make sure they put plastic on your carpet—both days!
