Check Out Trends at MBA’s Fall Remodelers Tour

When it comes to remodeling your home, you can’t underestimate the details. Whether you are remodeling a room, adding on to your home, or remodeling your entire house, paying close attention to details is a key step in the process and requires knowledge of the latest trends in home remodeling. The Metropolitan Builders Association is now offering you the opportunity to view the latest remodeling details and trends as it hosts the 23rd Annual Fall Remodelers Tour. These creative remodeling projects show that even the smallest details can add large enhancements to your home.

Kitchens remain one of the most popular remodeling projects. Homeowners in existing homes are looking for ways to experience the openness of today’s newer homes in kitchens fit for a chef. Cabinetry, appliance, and countertop upgrades in designs that open the room to the rest of the home are extremely popular.

Like kitchens, bathrooms continue to be one of the most requested remodeling projects.  When it comes to today’s bathrooms, the bigger the better. Soaking tubs and whirlpool tubs continue to grow in popularity, along with expansive showers. Multiple shower heads set in a spacious surround of tile or glass take showers to a level never experienced before.

Whole house remodels are a common way to incorporate today’s amenities into a seasoned home. Opening up space and creating a floorplan that is both family and entertainment friendly are two of the latest trends. While kitchens, living rooms, family rooms, bedrooms, baths, and lower levels are often part of the whole house remodel, the rooms that are affected will vary with each home.

When the existing space in a home is performing well, but the homeowner needs more space, adding on to the home is an excellent option. Additions on the Fall Remodelers Tour have enabled remodelers to renovate existing kitchen space, add an old fashioned screened room to a second floor, work a mud room into the home, and much more.

Windows are a vital detail in home remodeling. Bringing the outside in is just as important in a remodeled home as it is in a newly constructed home. This is why the addition of more windows is becoming a popular trend in home upgrading. More windows not only brighten up the home, but they also provide great visual interest. At the Fall Remodelers Tour, you can see how modern building technologies enable remodelers to add more windows to the design without sacrificing energy efficiency.

Whether you are thinking about remodeling a single room or your entire home, come and see the latest details from some of the area’s best remodelers at the 2007 Fall Remodelers Tour on October 20th and 21st. A $10 ticket purchased at any of the locations provides admission to all seventeen projects.
