What do other members say? 

What do homeowners say?

  • It’s a worthwhile experience! I recommend that the homeowner also be there.  Many times, visitors want to talk to the homeowner, not the remodeler—to get the real scoop             on the project—from the homeowner’s perspective.
  • We left Saturday for the entire day, Sunday for part of the time. It was easier to be gone the whole time.
  • Remember the experience is a whole lot of fun.
  • It was a very good experience. I would do it again!
  • Just do it…our contractor deserved praise for the good work he did. I hope he gets some business from the Tour.
  • We opted to stay home and to conduct our own tours through our home. It was exciting and exhausting!  Board your pets.
  • We had a blast! It was a big commitment, but so was the remodel project!  The people touring was respectful of our home!
  • Put remotes out of sight.
  • Clearly mark any “off-limits” areas.
  • Contractor arrived both days in plenty of time for us to pack up dogs and leave before anyone else showed up for the Tour.
  • The house was neat and clean afterwards.
  • Have quick-to-grab snacks available for those who are “working” your project.
  • Make sure they put plastic on your carpet—both days!
