Every year, PLI gives out free tickets to a handful of major regional shows in the home construction industry.
Louisville is the place to see the newest building materials and construction techniques. There’s no better place to swap ideas and pick the brains of the top people who are building and remodeling day-in, day out.
One of the great shows in the annual Home Garden & Remodeling Show. It opened Friday (3/1) at the Kentucky Expo Center South Wing. It’s the latest in the area, all first-hand.
What a treasure trove this show is! The parking lot was pretty jammed when the doors opened, and it never let up!
The show was jammin’ too! Aisle after aisle is chock full of the latest technology. The equipment is there to handle, along with specialists who work with it year-’round. Plenty of booths had drawings, coupons, and special show discounts too.
Here’s where you can put your hands on it. This is no museum. Touching, lifting, checking things out is expected. Invited. Really wanted. You can comparison show for real here.
Dean Tatum-Johns was manning the CertaPro Painters booth. He and his crew do some of the top work out there, bar none. They’re handing out a few issues of “Envision” magazine, loaded with new ideas to get home well dressed. It’s worth the trip by itself. Herschel Grabel of Grabel Insulators was on hand at a double booth on the end of a center row, with samples of his latest foam. We were impressed. Perry Pryor was behind the Thompson HVAC counter. Dwayne Bowling manned the Raven booth, the place to go for window washing and roof maintenance. He’s got 5 years under his belt now and looks to be heading to the top.
Really there were more pros than we could count. Foundation repair, waterproofing, concrete lifting? Every major outfit in the region is there. Ponds, gardens, pools or tools? You’re in thick. You might not believe some of the exhibits they built. Awesome. One with a flame lighting up the center of a pond with waterfalls at two sides! Windows and doors? Wine cellars and wood stoves? You’re covered. Kitchens? Marble, granite, and ironwork? Firepits? Decks? Even elevators? Yup. All there. Even furniture, carpets, and pet supplies? Present and accounted for. Oh, did we mention about a couple dozen big homebuilders and remodelers, along with even more landscapers just happened to be there too?
Heck, even Costco; the City of Louisville — in a seriously HUGE booth, featuring top city attractions; UK’s College of Agriculture, LG&E, and even the Code & Regulations crew all had booths too.
This is an annual wonderland for tapping into the latest for homes. Get there before the last day, March 3. Info at www.LouisvilleHomeShow.com.

wonderful publish, very informative. I’m wondering why the other specialists of this sector don’t
understand this. You should continue your writing.
I’m sure, you have a huge readers’ base already!
That is the best weblog for anybody who wants to seek out out about this topic. You notice a lot its virtually exhausting to argue with you (not that I actually would need…HaHa). You definitely put a brand new spin on a subject thats been written about for years. Nice stuff, just great!
I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your site.
It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your theme?
Exceptional work!
