City of Good Living to Host Home Improvement Marketplace

Have you noticed that you don't need to go beyond the City of San Carlos borders to find everything you need for a home improvement service? From millwork and flooring to plumbing and countertops, San Carlos is building a reputation as the Bay Area's home improvement capital.  

Building construction and materials businesses (kitchen and bath remodeling, cabinetry, plumbing, flooring, marble, tiling, etc.) represent the largest commercial segment in the city, with over 300 businesses in San Carlos alone. 

And in celebration of that core commercial segment, the City of San Carlos and the San Carlos Chamber of Commerce will host the first-ever Home Improvement Marketplace later this month. 

The Home Improvement Marketplace will be held Saturday, Aug. 24 from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. at the the San Carlos Industrial Park on Industrial Road.

According to the city's website, the Marketplace will feature an unprecedented gathering of businesses displaying and selling items for use in building or remodeling homes. With unique product displays and demonstrations, music, family activities, food trucks, microbrew and wine vendors, this event will appeal to architects, contractors, designers, homeowners and others interested in improving their living environments.

Collectively, building construction and materials businesses contribute nearly 30 percent of the city’s sales tax revenue. These businesses, along with landscape services, architects, designers and other related services are featured.

Sponsorships and vendor booths are still available for the event.
