MESSAGE FROM THE OMB PRESIDENT Welcome to Remodel Now

PRESIDENT John McKinlay

Olympia Master Builders

The last couple of years has brought our industry many challenges from Covid-19 protocols, increased costs of materials, major supply chain issues and continuing labor shortages. With this said, I was happy to start 2022 because I am hopeful we will begin to see some relief.

For many of you, spending quite a bit more time at home over the last few years has possibly led you to consider remodeling your home. Or perhaps you’ve already made the decision to remodel. If so, this is an exciting time for you! It is the time to stop dreaming of all the amazing improvements, possibilities and changes you can make to your home and start the process of making those dreams a reality. Remodel Now Magazine is published to help you start your remodeling journey today!

The stories inside were carefully prepared to help you, the consumer, take charge of your remodeling project. From creating the perfect ADU to the hottest trends on the market, it’s all inside. You will finish this issue with insight into what is possible for you and your home.

If you are interested in remodeling your home or adding an ADU, we recommend the expertise of a building professional. Getting the extra guidance needed to navigate the supply chain and material shortage issue is an important aspect of your remodel process. Throughout the pages of this magazine are contractors and suppliers who would be happy to assist you. In addition, on the Olympia Master Builders’ website, you’ll find a free searchable database of current members as well as a downloadable copy of our Hire-A-Pro Guide. For more details please visit omb.org or call the OMB office at 360-754-0912.
