And by real, I mean REAL

For those of you out there who are curious about how remodeling works & the trends that drive it, you’re in luck.

Whether you’re a remodeling insider or a homeowner wondering about what’s happening in the trenches of the remodeling industry Leah Thayer’s Daily 5 Remodel is well worth a look.

It’s packed with information like

• project sizes (currently smaller)
• surveys of how strong/weak business is in 2010
• innovation (both materials and their applications)
• hot or not sectors (kitchen reno’s & additions are up in 2010 yay! HELLO! call us!!)
• answers: a place for remodelers to weigh in on questions like,  “What’s worse: doing nothing to be green, or greenwashing?”

This newly launched resource save us designers & remodelers a ton of time by doing the research for us.  The info at our fingertips from a site like this helps us make better decisions with more comprehensive info that we just don’t have time to dig up.

She even has a personal look into remodeling companies in the Snapshots section.  Here’s us!
