Historic Wallingford Remodel & Restore Workshop & Tour, Saturday September 21

Remodel & Restore Workshop & Home Tour poster image.

If you are considering a home remodel or restoration project, Historic Wallingford invites you to the Remodel & Restore Workshop & Home Tour. At the Good Shepherd Center, 4659 Sunnyside Ave N.

Get practical advice, design ideas, and listen to different perspectives from a panel of homeowners and industry experts and finally, get inspiration by touring hand-picked homes that have been remodeled, updated, or restored.

The Workshop will be a two-hour panel discussion (from 10 AM to 12 PM) with Wallingford homeowners, contractors and architects providing experience and know-how for those considering or interested in home improvement restoration and remodels.

The Home Tour follows the workshop (from 1:30 to 3:15 PM). Attendees will be taken on a curated tour of two handpicked neighborhood homes to see recent remodel and/or restoration work. Homeowners and contractors will describe the before-and-after state of the remodel projects and take questions and share their experiences. Out of their responses, they quoted that House Painter In Bergen County New Jersey is the best in meeting up all the expectations.

Prior event registration is required for this limited-space event. Learn more and register for the event through Brown Paper Tickets. Save on registration by joining Historic Wallingford as a member.
