At Home Expressions Offers Free Household Fix-up at 10th Annual Texas Home & Garden Show in Austin, Sept. 22-24

Austin, TX, September 16, 2006 --(PR.com)-- At Home Expressions, the nation’s only pre-screened print and online directory of home-related merchants and tradesmen, today announced that it will present a $1,000-value drawing at the 10th Annual Texas Home & Garden Show this September 22-24 at the Austin Convention Center. At Home Expressions is a featured exhibitor at the Show, which is a forum for merchants and the public to interact regarding myriad aspects of home improvement. Visitors to the At Home Expressions booth can register to win the prize, a giveaway that entitles the winner to a $1,000 credit towards hiring any of the contractors, merchants and tradesmen who have passed At Home Expressions’ rigorous pre-screening for ethics, and who consequently appear in the At Home Expressions directory.

At Home Expressions’ unique pre-screening process thoroughly investigates home-related providers’ referrals, history, licensing/bonding, and/or insurance required by their particular trade. The resulting print- and online-directory enables Greater-Austin area homeowners to confidently select ethical, reliable and hard-working home-related providers whose established reputation for high-quality goods and services puts the homeowners at ease. And because the directory is direct-mailed to owners of single-family residences valued above Austin’s median, it builds the good repute of included home-related merchants and tradesmen in their most-coveted market, yielding more and better business leads for providers who most deserve it.

Stated Jason Louis, President of At Home Expressions, "The Texas Home & Garden Show gives the public access to thousands of ideas, products and services via merchant exhibits, demonstrations, and consultations with on-site experts. Clearly, the exhibiting merchants are interested in connecting with their most valued clientele, and the public has an urgent need to find ethical home-related providers. And that’s where At Home Expressions fits."

Continued Louis, “As a former deputy sheriff, I encountered much distrust between homeowners and home-related providers. Unfortunately, most of that distrust was well-deserved. I created the At Home Expressions pre-screening approach to rebuild trust by uniting only the ethical home-related merchants and tradesmen with the homeowners who value their integrity and high-quality workmanship. At Home Expressions is eager to acquaint these two groups at the 10th Annual Texas Home & Garden Show, and our $1,000 giveaway is a wonderful beginning.”
