I went to a home show today, and it was cheesy. I only recognized two companies at the show, and there was only one other vendor that I trusted (an artist selling metal sculpture.) The rest was gimmicky cleaners\/knives\/etc and some really horrible looking siding and roofing. Even the big names of local contracting, like Neil Kelly, were absent from the show.
