The Show offers attendees one-stop shopping for everything from the roof to the basement, and from interiors to landscapes, as well as live radio broadcasts and presentations on a variety of subjects. One lucky attendee will win a 7 LED fixture outdoor lighting package provided by Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Atlanta.

“The Spring Atlanta Home Show is presented in a fun, festive atmosphere where you can see new products demonstrated, ask questions, talk to the experts, comparison shop and enjoy interactive presentations by popular home and landscape professionals like Jeff Devlin, who will be featured on the Reliable Heating & Air Home Show Stage on Saturday, March 25," said SEMCO President and Roswell resident Michael Schoppenhorst. "This is Georgia’s largest home show and it features hundreds of exhibitors who can bring new life to a home by building a new addition, replacing or repairing systems and structures, creating outdoor living spaces and refreshing both interiors and exteriors including decks, kitchens and baths. Show attendees can drop in on a cooking demonstration, pick up product samples and schedule appointments with experts to visit their homes. Many of the exhibitors offer show specials, which can save people up to thousands of dollars if they decide to use an exhibitor’s services. The Show’s exhibition space is sold out, so we will literally feature wall-to-wall products, services and information.”
