Arlington’s best remodeling event returns on Saturday, April 27, 2019 !

https://arlingtonhomeshow.org/

In 2019 the Arlington Home Show & Garden Expo celebrates its 13th annual edition! – 

We are working hard to make the 2019 show the best ever! Last year Arlington’s prime home improvement and remodeling event gathered more than 75 home builders, contractors and specialist vendors, architects, inspectors, landscape designers, realtors, master gardeners, banks, nonprofit organizations and Arlington County housing, zoning and inspection representatives. In addition, a rich and diverse schedule of FREE classes  completed the experience of one-stop shopping and information for our more than 1200 visitors. The 2019 edition has even more in store!
The Home Show is a convenient way to learn about remodeling and improving your home (including popular kitchen and bath remodeling), finishing or waterproofing basements, replacing windows, doors, flooring, roofing and siding, adding security systems and more from a wide variety of top-rated companies.
You will take away information on green products and technologies,  smart and universal design, convenient upgrades to home decoration, and outdoor living improvements.
Find out about Arlington County zoning and permit rules you need to know before starting a home improvement project.
The Arlington Home Show & Garden Expo is sponsored by
Resilient Virginia and the Arlington County Housing Division.
