Planning a home makeover? This (free!) event is your chance to score some expert advice.
We just sent our annual makeover issue to press, so you’d better believe we’re in the throes of full-on renovation fever. This time of year, we’re all about that out-with-the-old-in-with-the-new mindset—which means the Homebuilders Association Vancouver’s Spring Home Reno Show couldn’t have come along at a better time.
This year’s event takes over at Van Dusen Garden to showcase the work and expertise of Metro Vancouvers’s top builders, renovators and designers (look out for appearances by Maison D’Etre Design/Build, Harmony Sense Interiors and Novell Design Build). Expect expert advice from the pros and thought-provoking seminars throughout the day—topics include everything from kitchen design trends to renovation contracts to the design/build process and financing—all for free.
Bring your questions and dream reno sketches, and we’ll see you in the garden.
