Schmidt Exteriors named by REMODELING Magazine to its 2018 REMODELING 550 List of America’s Biggest Remodelers
Batavia, Illinois (May 2018) –Schmidt Exteriors ranks 134th on the 2018 REMODELING 550 list of the nation’s biggest specialty contractors.
The REMODELING 550 brings together the nation’s 550 biggest full-service remodelers, replacement contractor / home improvement firms, insurance restoration firms, and franchisors. Because the full-service and replacement firms operate so differently, the REMODELING 550 lists and ranks them separately.
“We are honored to receive this distinction” said Mike Schmidt, owner of Schmidt Exteriors. “There are roughly 100,000 remodeling firms in this country with payrolls, so it’s great to know that we’re among the top 0.5% in the nation.”
REMODELING editor-in-chief Craig Webb noted there’s a high turnover rate in remodeling, with roughly one-sixth of the firms going out of business annually. “In contrast, the bigger firms have a failure rate of less than 2%,” he said. “Thus, become a REMODELING 550 company indicates that you have quality and staying power—two traits that customers value most.”
REMODELING, published by Hanley Wood, is the leading publication in the home improvement industry. REMODELING has and continues to be the indispensable tool that remodelers cannot do without—delivering the business know-how, product and technical information that home improvement pros need to help make smart decisions that will shape their success.
All 550 firms can be found online at http://www.remodeling.hw.net. There you can sort and filter the data, which includes information on the company’s location, 2017 revenues, number of projects, and average job size. The website also includes numerous charts and profiles that illuminate details regarding the group.
Midwest home exteriors that nod to nature
Color selection can be easy.
Get the Midwest Rustic Look
While working with clients, the process seams easy until it comes time to choose a color scheme.
One approach has helped my clients: Play off nature.
A suburban house in a wooded area could feel right at home clad in Heathered Moss. Or a lake house inspired by the nearby ravine could look ravishing in a bold blue tone, such as Boothbay Blue.
With the range of James Hardie’s ColorPlus® Technology colors, you can browse cool, warm, fresh, light, dark and neutral tones all inspired by the outdoors.
Here are a few Midwest home exteriors that nod to nature.
Neutral on the green
This suburban beauty is clad in HardiePlank® lap siding in Autumn Tan and HardieTrim® boards in Arctic White. The main siding color stands out in the warm sun against the bright green grass and trees. Playing off the home’s stone foundation, this home’s palette combines earthy colors that feel natural, yet stand out in their lushly landscaped location.
Cottage in the trees
This Midwest home feels like an extension of the nature that surrounds it. The siding in Heathered Moss blends nicely with the tall trees and fresh mulch. The red accents, natural wood details and the soft lighting makes this home even more inviting.
Inspired by the lake
This Wisconsin lake house is clad in straight edge HardieShingle® siding and HardiePlank lap siding, both in Evening Blue. When paired with HardieTrim boards in Arctic White, the palette comes across nautical and classic. The welcoming lighting shining through the wall of windows make this lake house feel cozy, and with a breeze blowing through the trees, you can almost smell the nearby lake.
Let your scenery inspire your siding selections—go natural, go wild, go with the ColorPlus Technology palette.
Yes, siding can be a pleasant experience.
Best for you all,
Mike Schmidt
