Remodelers Council Scholarships

The Remodelers Council awards scholarships to students who are entering or attending a 2-year or 4-year college program that involves the building industry.

Tour of Remodeled Homes

Every spring in April, the Remodelers Council of Lincoln organizes the Tour of Remodeled Homes. This tour consists of 15 to 20 remodeled homes that are opened for public viewing. If you're thinking of remodeling or adding a new room or sunroom to your home, you'll enjoy this weekend event! During the Tour of Remodeled Homes, you can see first hand remodeling projects of many types (kitchens, bathrooms, basements, room additions and more.) This is a great opportunity to talk with remodelers about your own special dreams for your home remodeling project.

Lead: Renovation, Repair and Painting

Beginning in April 2010, the Toxic Substances Control Act will require contractors to test for lead paint in pre-1978 homes and, if detected, use Lead Safe Work Practices. This will require companies to be EPA registered and have a Certified Renovator available.
