35th Conejo Valley Home Remodeling Show Features Latest Home Products & Remodeling Ideas

Aug. 21, 2012 - PRLog -- WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CALIF.--The latest in home remodeling, design and upgrades will be on display at the 35th Conejo Valley Home Remodeling Show, Saturday and Sunday, September 8 and 9 at the Hyatt Westlake Plaza (880 S. Westlake Blvd., Westlake Village).  

   The home show brings together more than 150 vendors including kitchen and bath contractors, landscapers, roofers, window manufacturers and interior designers. "It's the public's opportunity to ask questions about their home projects and learn about the newest products available," says Rick Goodman, the show's organizer.

   New this year is a separate 30' x 60' tent where show sponsor Wells Fargo Home Mortgage will answer questions about home buying and refinancing needs and will prequalify borrowers. Representatives from local escrow, title and real estate companies will also be on hand.

   A new vendor this year is Green Horizon Landscaping www.greenhorizonlandscaping.net, 805-241-3231, serving the Conejo Valley. Owner Glenn Thompson is introducing a concrete retaining wall used in place of traditional block walls or wooden fences. "By using concrete to create a retaining wall or water feature, you can custom design the hardscape in your own shapes and colors," says Thompson. "The walls are stronger and even cost less than block walls."

   Landscaping costs are on the minds of Thompson's customers. "The economy and lower home values are still having an impact," notes Thompson. "We don't skimp on the quality of materials, but we may use less plant materials and more ground cover or stamped concrete instead of pavers. We can still create a beautiful outdoor environment for homeowners with smaller budgets."

   With allergies a constant issue for some people, another product at the show that will attract attention is the new Silent Night air purifier. Distributor Dixson Lindsay (805-495-5238) says the product is just coming on the market in September. "It fits on a bed stand, is ion-driven so it is quiet and delivers particle-free air around the 'sleep zone.' Previous air purifiers would eliminate some but not all dust and were noisy. The noise made them difficult for use in the bedroom. Although it's designed for the sleeping market, it can be used in other parts of the house. It's perfect for people who have allergies, but improves the air quality for everyone from newborns to the elderly."
