Hundreds of contractors, designers, and homeowners will converge on the Livestock Center at Denver's National Western Center this weekend for the Denver Home and Remodeling Expo, a free three-day showcase of new products, live demonstrations, and show-only deals running Friday through Sunday. Among the exhibitors is AIM, a Colorado-based provider of custom window treatments and lighting control solutions, which will set up shop at Booth 215 with giveaways and trade incentives aimed at both everyday homeowners and industry professionals.
The expo, which runs from Friday, October 16 through Sunday, October 18, is produced by Nationwide Expos, a trade show organizer, with vendor booth costs ranging from $1,500 to $5,000, according to Retail Circus. As detailed by EIN News, admission is free for all attendees, with Friday hours running noon to 6 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
AIM is offering a drawing for a $1,000 gift card toward a project with the company, alongside its full lineup of blinds, shades, shutters, privacy sheers, drapery, and motorized treatments. The company carries products from Hunter Douglas, Alta Window Fashions, Carole Fabrics and Insolroll, as well as Lutron lighting controls, per the same release.
A Locally Owned Operation With Mountain Reach
Legally registered as AIM Home Automation LLC, the company was co-founded on November 4, 2020, by Marc Blumenthal and Kevin Clancy, and it earned Better Business Bureau accreditation in June 2025, according to the Better Business Bureau. The company bills itself as locally owned and specializing in custom window treatments and whole-home lighting control systems, with an in-house installation team rather than third-party subcontractors handling measurement, mounting, and smart-home motorization programming. That team serves residential customers across the Front Range as well as Western Slope mountain communities like Vail and Aspen, according to AIM's own materials.
Beyond its exhibitor presence, AIM is courting trade professionals through booth 215, inviting interior designers, home builders, real estate agents, home stagers, and architects to connect with its trade program. That program offers exclusive trade pricing and perks. AIM serves as a local window-treatment partner for everything from product selection to installation coordination and motorization planning, per the EIN News release. Homeowners with questions about the trade program or the expo booth can reach AIM contact Kevin Clancy at 720-790-4381.
Why Denver Homeowners Are Staying Put and Remodeling
The timing lines up with a shifting local housing picture. Denver's market entered what one analysis calls a “Great Recalibration” in 2026, with year-to-date median home sold prices holding flat at $575,000 and average days on market climbing to 53, according to Usaj Realty. With elevated mortgage rates making a move less appealing, many Denver homeowners are choosing to upgrade the homes they already have rather than shop for a new one.
That doesn't mean renovating is cheap in the Mile High City. Home renovation costs in the Denver metro area run about 12% above national averages in 2026, according to Cost to Renovate, which compares Denver renovation costs with national averages. The site cites a tight contractor market and transport costs into the Rockies. For homeowners weighing where to spend, exterior upgrades tend to pay off best locally: garage door replacements recoup 193.9% of their cost and steel entry doors recoup 188.1% in resales, according to the Heidi Cox Team, while minor kitchen remodels recouped 96.1% and midrange bathroom remodels recouped 74.8%.
Tax Credits and a Busy Campus Weekend
Certain qualifying building-envelope components, such as exterior windows, doors and insulation, are eligible for a federal tax credit under Internal Revenue Code Section 25C worth 30% of qualifying expenditures, subject to a generally applicable annual limit of $1,200, according to the IRS. The Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit is available for qualifying improvements. Statewide, residential remodeling now accounts for roughly 2.9% of Colorado's total GDP, ranking 10th among the state's revenue-generating industries in 2026, per IBISWorld.
The expo's home at the Livestock Center places it within a 2.2 million-square-foot redevelopment campus designed to host agricultural, research, and public entertainment events, according to the National Western Center. Attendees should expect extra campus traffic this weekend, since the same grounds will simultaneously host Oktoberfest – The Denver Wiesn on the Main Campus Plaza from October 16 through 18, a festival Hoodline previously reported features a 108-foot wheel.
