Segment 1:
It's National Kitchen and Bath month, and a great time to encourage your customers to remodel, since kids are back in school. With the family out of the house, remodels are less disruptive. It also gives consumers a new space just in time for holiday gatherings.
Countertops are a large investment – and getting something beautiful as well as practical is easy to do. And getting more natural light into a kitchen or bath space is as easy as installing a skylight – or four.
