Arlington Construction Management is a SILVER Sponsor of the Arlington HomeShow and Garden Expo this Year.

We are very pleased to have a local business supporting the Home Show! Arlington Construction Management has been a returning HomeExpo Exhibitor since the very first edition.

There is a better way to build! To make sure your project, whether it’s new construction, building on an addition or remodeling an older structure, is just what you envisioned — on time, on budget and well-built. With Arlington Construction Management you avoid the risk of having your vision reinterpreted through the different lens of a mismatched general contractor with dissimilar experience, a limited pool of subcontractors and whose incentive is based on his profit rather than your satisfaction.

1100 North Glebe Road, #1010 | Arlington, Virginia 22201

1. Exposure to new clients! Unlike many of the bigger Home Shows, the Arlington Home Show is free to attend.  You can generate solid sales leads, because Arlington homeowners are always looking to improve and innovate.  Would you normally have over a thousand people in your show room in ONE DAY?

2. Take the guesswork out of where your advertising dollars should be spent.  We are committed to a strong marketing campaign. There will be posters on public transit stops along Columbia Pike (DC Metro’s highest ridership), banners over major Arlington thoroughfares for two weeks before the Show, as well as posters and signs displayed in store fronts all over Arlington and a mailing campaign. We will have ads posted for several weeks leading up to the show on the most significant regional internet publications, and full page print ads in the regional papers.

3. The Show has a new home this year at the Thomas Jefferson Community Center, located off Glebe Rd, just south of Rout 50. It is right in the heart of Arlington. Exhibitors will have exposure to homeowners from all over Arlington and the surrounding areas. The new location provides more parking and a better layout of the vendor booths.  The floor plan will be open and will allow visitors to move easily through the whole show increasing their exposure to each vendor. (See floor layout here: Floor Plan)

4. And, last but not least: The show hours have been extended; the booths are bigger and the prices are lower! 10X10 booths are $500, 20X10 booths are $900 and 30X10 booths are $1,300! You won’t see prices like these at any other area shows.
