ABOUT THE
SHOW
The rules of business have changed. To remain competitive, you need to come up with a new game plan and find new strategies for success. Build a new game plan by attending these two leading industry events under one roof.
Remodeling Show is the only national remodeler-centric event bringing together the entire remodeling industry face-to-face annually. Launched in 1991 by NAHB and then partnered with since 2001, this event has expanded to represent all facets of the remodeling community – kitchen and bath, home improvement, aging-in-place, sustainable remodeling, plus all the tools and services that go into executing these types of projects. With an emphasis on education from the show floor to the classroom, our attendees even schedule their big projects around the Remodeling Show. Official sponsors of Remodeling Show are NAHB, NAHB Remodelers and Remodeling Magazine.
DeckExpo is the only trade event focusing exclusively on the special building requirements of decks, docks, railings and porches. Launched in 2003 and purchased by Hanley Wood in 2006, DeckExpo attracts builders, carpenters and general contractors from all over the U.S., and even across the globe, in order to see the latest technologies, hardware and newest products geared for specifically for the unique building requirements of decks, docks, railing and porches and their surroundings.
