You like your house and your neighborhood, but you’d like to make some changes. A home remodeling project could be just what you need to turn your current house into your dream home.

In order to help you envision the possibilities of what can be accomplished with a home remodeling project, the Remodelors Council of the Greater Iowa City Area Home Builders Association sponsors a Remodelors Parade each fall. This year’s event will be held on Sept. 18 and 19, from noon until 4 p.m. Thirteen remodeling projects will be featured on this year’s parade, ranging from one room additions to whole house remodels.

“People who typically remodel a home have decided to stay there,” says Barbara Messer of Kitchen & Bath
Distributing in Iowa City and 2004 chair of the Remodelors Council. “There are a lot of people who want to keep their roots where they are, whether their home is older or newer,” Messer says. “Finding the right person to do their remodeling work is very important,” Messer adds.

The Remodelors Parade provides the perfect opportunity to not only visualize what can be done in the scope of a remodeling project but also to meet with several top remodelors and get a feel for their work.

“When picking a remodelor, you have to be comfortable with the person, the price and the product,” Messer says. “The Remodelors Parade can give you a general idea of (a contractor’s) personality and their sense of style,” she says.

This year’s Remodelors Parade will feature a wide range of projects, from whole house remodels to additions and renovations. The homes featured are located in Iowa City, Coralville and University Heights.
Tickets to visit just one or all thirteen homes featured on the Remodelors Parade are $3 and are available at each home featured on the parade.
