EXPERT advice on home improvements is available at the St George and Sutherland Shire Home Show on Saturday and Sunday, August 29 and 30.
Organiser Norm Lembke said there would be more than 100 exhibitors, exciting seminars and wonderful prizes.
"From kitchens, bathrooms and granny flats, to finance, pest control and solar power, there's something for everyone," he said.
"Thanks to Garage Tek and the St George and Sutherland Shire Home Show we're giving you the chance to win a garage makeover featuring a 6m x 2.4m wall storage panel, along with a selection of commonly used accessories, including installation, valued at $3000."
To enter listen to Chris Smith's afternoons show on 2GB each day leading up to the expo.
Entry and parking at the expo is free.
"Our objective is to ensure that local businesses have the opportunity to offer their products and services to the community whom we have found in turn are more than receptive to supporting local businesses," he said.
"With housing prices increasing, we're finding that more people are looking to home improvements and renovation as a way of updating their living space or increasing the value of their home.
"Australians have a love affair with their home and this is the perfect opportunity for homeowners to get some information and help with their ideas."
He said visitors were encouraged to bring along plans, photos, sketches and measurements so exhibitors could quote on the spot.
"There'll be plenty of products on sale at the show so visitors should ensure they have payment facilities and transport ready to take advantage of all the incredible specials.
"Added into the mix will be an amazing array of prizes, competitions and demonstrations to entertain, educate and brighten up the day for the winners."
The event is on Sutherland Basketball Stadium at Waratah Park on Forest Road at Sutherland on Saturday, August 29, from 9am to 5pm, and Sunday, August 30, from 9am to 4pm (see seminars schedule below).
