NORTHEAST PUBLICATIONS TO LAUNCH HOME MAGAZINE
Northeast Publications in Dennisport announces the launch of a home-improvement
magazine aimed at providing homeowners on Cape Cod and the islands with
a practical resource for making home-improvement concepts a reality.
Cape Cod and the Islands Home Remodeling will feature accessible “before
and after” articles of local remodeling projects, sound advice
from area home-improvement professionals, information on the latest home
products and a list of verified contractors who can bring the customer’s
ideas to life. “Most homeowners can relate to the challenge of
finding reliable, quality and available contractors for hire,” says
Publisher Paul W. Reiss Jr. “With this new magazine, we hope to
educate homeowners about all facets of home remodeling and help them
connect with those service providers who are reputable and available
to tackle the project.
When undertaking a major home-improvement project, homeowners face a
daunting array of decisions. Cape Cod and the Islands Home Remodeling
aims to demystify the process by leading readers through real-life projects
undertaken by their neighbors. Other articles will discuss the nitty-gritty
of home improvement, such as signing contracts and dealing with local
regulatory agencies. And the magazine will provide a directory of contractors
whose credentials have been verified, then checked by an independent
agency.
I wish this magazine had been around when I began remodeling my own
home seven years ago,” says Laurie Kaiser, editorial consultant
for Cape Cod and Islands Home Remodeling. “Most home-improvement
magazines present beautiful ideas and then leave the reader to figure
out how to implement them. I turned to the phone book and rolled the
dice. Some contractors worked out well; others didn’t. Most home
magazines sell the dream. This magazine will help the reader make the
dream a reality by offering practical information.
To be published twice annually, Cape Cod and the Islands Home Remodeling
is expected to have initial circulation figures of 30,000 to 40,000.
The magazine will be available at newsstands, by subscription and through
select real estate firms, home-improvement contractors and suppliers
of home products.
The home-remodeling market continues to grow, especially on Cape Cod.
Within the next decade, the home-improvement market is expected to
eclipse the market for new home construction. The home-improvement
market is expected to grow 10 percent per year, according to the
US Census Bureau, rising to $300 billion in overall industry expenditures.
On the Cape, the market is forecast to grow faster than the national
average, as the availability of buildable lots declines.
Northeast Publications was founded in 1992. The company produces the
Cape Cod Travel Guide, the Cape Cod Meeting & Event Planners Guide
and Golf on Cape Cod. For more information, visit www.northeastpublications.com.
