Some people follow rock bands from show to show all across the country. Here at, Angie’s List, we follow the home show circuit, and we’ve been doing it now for 15 years.

Whether you’re among the 87 percent of Angie’s List members who told us they’re planning home improvement this year, or you’re just dreaming of a remodeling project, you should be going to the home show, too.

Here’s why:

Home shows are great places to see examples of the latest ideas for kitchen and bathroom remodeling. General contractors, remodelers, plumbers, handymen – pretty much anyone who specializes in home improvement – has a presence at your local home show.

Our poll showed that those planning to remodel plan to spend nearly 5 percent of their home’s value on improvements in 2010. That’s significant money. You want to invest it well.  We’re not advocating that you hire the first contractor you find with an intriguing booth. You still have to do your research. But you can gather a lot of contact information at a home show.

You can stop by to see us, too.  Here’s a listing of where we’ll be. Hope to see you at the show!
