“RenoTour is about seeing what’s possible — and there’s something different about experiencing it in person,” says Jason Burggraaf, executive director of GOHBA. “Whether you’re stepping inside a transformed home or visiting a showroom, it’s a great way to find inspiration, ask questions and see firsthand what a professional can bring to your own home. RenoTour is a great opportunity to see what’s possible and connect with the professionals who can help bring ideas to life.”
