The Remodeling Process

(Waukesha, WI) February 7, 2008 – On Thursday, February 21st at 7:00 p.m., the Metropolitan Builders Association will host a consumer seminar titled, “The Remodeling Process.” “This seminar provides an overview of the remodeling process as well as some practical advice to help consumers select a remodeler,” said MBA Executive Director Matt Moroney. “It will also examine cost vs. value to help homeowners determine if they should stay in their home and remodel, or if the time has come to buy a new home.”

The seminar will begin at 7:00 p.m. and last approximately one and one-half hours with opportunities to ask a lot of questions. Scott Riemer, Mukwonago Remodeling, LLC will provide consumers with practical advice so they enter the remodeling process as educated buyers.

“Many consumers don’t realize all the factors that must be considered when
remodeling a home. Resale value, subdivision restrictions, the condition of the home, and the lot itself must be looked at carefully.” said Moroney. “Remodeling is also unique in that most of the time homeowners are living in the home throughout the construction process. It is imperative that those entering into this process have a basic understanding of what will be taking place during the remodeling of their home. The remodeling process can vary in length depending on the type of project undertaken, the level of customization involved, and the weather.”

This free seminar runs from 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. at the Metropolitan Builders Association’s office – N16 W23321 Stone Ridge Drive in Waukesha. Pre-registration is recommended but not required. Register online at MBAonline.org or call 262-436-1122.
