HBAGC Greater Chicago Home Tour Guide
The Home Builder’s Association of Greater Chicago is expanding their popular scattered-site tour of remodeled homes in 2009 to include custom new homes. The Custom Homes Tour is scheduled for three weekends: May 2-3, May 9-10 and May 16-17, with the Remodeled Homes Tours sharing the May 16-17 weekend. Greater Chicago Home Tour – A Tour of New and Remodeled Homes is a must-see for anyone planning a home remodeling project and everyone in the residential construction industry.

Featured homes were selected for their overall excellence, innovation and design and represent today’s highest industry standards. Greater Chicago Home Tour is sponsored by leading national and local companies including: Verizon, Marvin Windows and many others.

The Greater Chicago Home Tour magazine, published as the official keepsake guide to the tour, showcases each home in striking, glossy full-color pictorials. Featuring before and after photos of the remodeled homes, up-to-the-minute design trends and luxurious finishes, the magazine will be retained and referred to for listings of services providers in the building, remodeling and decorating trades, serving as a valuable source book for affluent readers actively in the market for remodeling projects or new home purchases.
