New HBA Resource: Remodeling Column Service

NAHB Remodelers is pleased to share a new resource with Local Remodelers Councils, Home Builder Asssociations, and remodeler leaders: the Remodeling Column Service!

The articles and press releases on the column service website (www.nahb.org/remodelingcolumnservice) are free for Local Councils and Home Builders Associations to use for promoting remodeling locally and generating media coverage. Column service materials can be submitted or pitched for use in local newspapers, magazines, newsletters, or other outreach materials. They can also be placed on the HBA website to provide remodeling industry news and information to your community. To give them more impact, NAHB Remodelers' recommends customizing materials with information appropriate for your local area.

New articles will be posted periodically, but login now to download promotional pieces such as:

Five Tips for Remodeling to Sell
What Green Features Would You Use?
Top Five Maintenance Projects
If You Want the Job Done Right, Hire a Professional Remodeler
and many more!

The column service articles are not exclusive content as other local jurisdictions may use them. If sharing with media, be sure to communicate that the information is not exclusive.

Note: These column service articles are kept for exclusive use by HBA staff and NAHB members for two years. We are always looking for suggestions on topics that may be of interest to consumers.
