Some of the biggest names in the home business will attend the show, including Heloise, queen of household hints and nationally syndicated columnist; Josh Flagg, the LA real estate mogul and star of Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing; and Spike-TV’s Mike Baird, who stars in Flip Men. In addition, show-goers will have opportunities to meet with local remodeling experts in one-on-one information sessions.
“Anyone who is thinking about or getting ready to do work on the inside or outside of their home can come to this show and not only talk to experts, but also hear from a pretty interesting slate of headliners,” said Jill Collins, of Oak Hill, show spokeswoman. “There is a big educational component. You can get advice and consulting from the top to the bottom of your house and everywhere in between.”
For example, Robert J. Kalmin of RJK Construction, Inc. in Fairfax, who sits on the Board of Directors for the D.C. Metro Chapter of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI), will provide an information guide and checklist for those considering home remodeling projects.
