Over the past 18 months, I have been in the unique position to hear first-hand how the booming remodel market, supply chain disruptions and material costs are affecting plumbing distributors and showrooms while simultaneously being the end-user customer who’s remodeling her kitchen.

It only took a couple of months listening to friends and family describe the bidding wars happening in the cut-throat real estate market to make us change our minds. We became the poster customers for much of what you all have been dealing with — millennials choosing to upgrade and remodel their homes throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
