Remodelors™ Council Unveils Consumer Ads

The Remodelors™ Council has produced a series of consumer-oriented ads to promote the hiring of NAHB Remodelors™ Council members, Certified Graduate Remodelors™ (CGRs) and Certified-Aging-in-Place Specialists (CAPS).

The ads will begin appearing in selected issues of House Beautiful Home Remodeling & Decorating, House Beautiful Kitchen & Bath Planner and House Beautiful Kitchens/Baths — all consumer special interest publications.

The ads were designed to complement the new “How to Find a Professional Remodeler” brochure.

To preview the ads, go to the Remodelor™ Council section of the NAHB Web site,  www.nahb.org/remodelors, and find the ads in the Remodelors™ Council Resources section.

Local Remodelors™ Councils also are being encouraged to place the ads in their local consumer publications as part of a coordinated effort to help

“brand” the Remodelors™ Councils. The branding effort will help consumers recognize the local Remodelors™ Councils as organizations to turn to when they need to find professional remodelers.  Local councils will be able to customize the ads with their council’s contact information.

For more information, contact Melanie Hinton, 800-368-5242 x8451.
