The Twin Cities Builders Remodelers Showcase (BRS), held on April 3 is the largest building industry product show in the Upper Midwest and brings together home building and remodeling industry professionals. The event was a great success and showcased the latest trends and product releases for Twin Cities home remodeling ideas. Professionals got a read on the pulse of the home remodeling industry in the coming year and homeowners are armed with new remodeling ideas.
"Minneapolis homeowners who begin a major home renovation by considering and evaluating current housing market circumstances and their family's future goals will make better informed decisions," says Jenna Thuening, owner of Home Destination. "For homeowners weighing remodeling project costs in view of their future return value, an objective look at today's current predictions from raw housing data leads to the best remodeling spends."
Metro home builders offer diversity in housing design and price, which draws crowds to gather remodeling ideas or simply admire. Twin Cities home buyers who are challenged by low housing inventory may be turning to custom-designed homes as another option they hadn't previously considered. Others seek model homes showcasing the best of a community. Others are choosing to simply remodel their existing home. The uptick in requests for home remodeling bids signals a deepening confidence in the Twin Cities housing recovery.

3. Garage Door Replacement - Whether the home has a one or three car garage, the door's expanse is large and making the upgrade to a newer one has a big impact on a home's curb appeal as well as functionality for daily use.
