For the past 17 years, Eric Johnson has operated Authentic Builders out of his home. Recently, he opened up a showroom at 1524 Farwell St., McFarland, so people could look at models of his custom Amish kitchens. The name on the showroom Custom Amish Kitchens and More describes exactly what people can expect to find in the retail space.

He said many people are sold on the cabinets and millwork done by the Amish builder Johnson works with once they see it, but the only way potential clients could get a good look at the woodwork was to visit one of the homes Johnson worked on. This prompted the decision to open the showroom.

At the Farwell Street storefront, there are three kitchen remodels with examples of cabinets and countertops so customers can see the quality of the handmade millwork. Also on display is a vanity and cubby for storing coats, winter accessories, and shoes and boots. In the future, Johnson plans to showcase tables and chairs.

I have a builder thats amazing at just how precise he is, how his finishing is its so smooth with the wood and the sanding and how he stains things. Ive compared my cabinets to other custom cabinets, and I have not found someone that can match the quality that we put in to a kitchen, he said, adding the customers like the fact Authentic Builders charges roughly 15-25 percent less compared with other custom cabinet dealers.

Johnson works with an Amish builder for all of his pieces. The two met when Johnson visited Amish cabinet shops while remodeling his previous home in Mount Horeb.

His work was just head and shoulders above everyone else, Johnson said.

The pair discusses the design through letters or the Amish man goes to someones home to call Johnson.

He understands what Im looking for without having to have a very detailed drawing on what it needs to look like, Johnson said.

While Johnson designs and installs the new pieces as a licensed general contractor, he hires outside companies for any other necessary work like electrical, plumbing, drywalling and painting.

Johnson also remodels basements, bathrooms and other rooms.

Johnson enjoys the entire process from designing the project with the customer to demoing and installing.

The reason he continues carpentry is the satisfaction of seeing the smile on his customers face.

Just how they light up, Johnson said.I have one customer from five or six years ago, and when she sees me at the grocery store, she tells me, Every time I come down in the morning to get my coffee, I just smile when I see my kitchen.

The showroom is open by appointment only; appointments can be made by calling Johnson at 513-1528 or contacting him on his website, http://www.authenticbuilders.com.

Bigger and better

Reiser is part of a new group, Albuquerque Home Shows, which bought the popular event last year. This is its second show after putting on one in the fall, and the company has vowed to make this one bigger and better than ever. This is our second as new owners so each show were looking to be new and improved with fresh ideas, to she aid of the EXPO that will run February 25-26 at the Manuel Lujan Jr. Exhibit Complex.

A touch of new mexican culture

Toward that end, the show has dedicated an entire hall to nothing but New Mexico products. Were going to have everything from foods, to jewelry, to art, Reiser added. All kinds of things will be there in Hall C; olive oils, jerkies and salsa. New Mexico made products. Hand-crafted items. The additions were brought in after checking the results of questionnaires to attendees of last falls show. We surveyed our people as they came through in September, Reiser said. We asked them what they would like to see more of at the show. Some of the feedback was for retail type of items, more New Mexico-type of products. Not everybody was there just for the home stuff. And we listened.

Apparently the idea was a hit with vendors, as well, as that hall sold out quickly, Reiser said. There are so many different types of woodworking, metalworking and other artists. It adds interest to the show and gives people a reason to stick around so its not just home improvement, there is a little bit of everything, she added.

Entertainment and seminars

In another effort to get people to hang out longer and increase the benefits to the attendees this year, Reiser shares that the show will include a stage that not only will be filled with entertainment, but also a full slate of seminars that will be useful for the consumer looking for some home ideas. Theres going to be financial stuff for the home, a dog trainer with obedience tips on training and gardening tips, she said. Well be giving away door prizes like the Amazon Echo.

Dreamstyles presence

Some of the vendors have been enlisted to help, like DreamStyle Remodeling. Were going to have one on kitchen and bath remodeling, one on what to look for when replacing windows and our remodeling department is going to do another one, said Dawn Dewey, DreamStyle marketing director. The Albuquerque-based company will have a major presence at the show, filling the equivalent of 20 10-by-10-foot booths, she said. The home shows are a great opportunity for people in the community as the season warms, people are looking to make improvements to the home to have a chance to see everything we offer, Dewey said. Its a place where they can shop around and have a good time.

In addition to its exclusive Renewal By Anderson windows, which will have a particular extensive display, DreamStyle will also showcase its custom remodeling, design/build kitchens and bathrooms; bath wrap products to shower conversions, sunrooms, stucco, cabinet refacing and patio covers. Well have a wide selection of top name-brand home products, Dewey said. Were going to have a lot going on.

Adopting pets

Being a big sponsor of the Albuquerque Animal Humane Society, a portion of the space will be filled with adoptable pets. Were also going to have giveaways and a lot of fun stuff so people can come by and see what we have to offer, she said.

Vendor benefits

The show is not only good for attendees, but the vendors get benefits, as well, said Lucas Satterfield of BAC Roofing. We like the steady crowd, he said. Were very pleased with the quality of people who come to the show. Weve been doing the home show forever now. We like the hours, how it is set up and ran. They advertise it very well and keep it very busy.

Often customers will come back to visit, Satterfield said. We have several customers that come back to see us every single year, he said. And we get a lot of leads. We get people who call us and say they saw us two or three years ago and kept the card and call us when theyre ready.

Its also a good time for the vendors to do some meet and greet. A lot of the vendors have been doing it for a long time, Satterfield said. Other than customer access, you get a lot of good, quality time with vendors. Its great for building relationships with other vendors. Still, in the end, its the consumers who truly benefit. We have a total of more 260 booths with more than 200 exhibitors, Reiser said. The cool thing is you can compare the different businesses. For instance, if youre thinking of solar, you can interview more than one. It all will be under one roof to allow people to do some comparison shopping.

Whenever we list a property, the homeowner always wants our advice on what improvements or changes they should make before putting the house on the market. As part of answering that question, we often look to Remodeling magazine, where every year, they publish the Cost vs. Value Report.

In that report, they analyze the average cost of typical remodeling projects versus the value that project might generate at the time of sale. Remodeling magazine then provides the results on a major regional and national basis. Here's what the national numbers look like for 2017.

First off, most homeowners think that most improvements will pay for themselves when it comes time to sell. Unfortunately, that's seldom true. In past years, there was generally only one update that would be worth more than it cost. That update was a new front door.

We can understand why a new front door might top the list. After all, it's the first thing people see coming into your house, and if the front door is shabby looking, that can cast a pale over the rest of the house.

However, in 2017, front doors dropped a notch to second place. This year, attic insulation came in first, recouping 107.7 percent of the average cost. Nationally, the cost of some new fiberglass attic insulation came in at $1,343, but it generated an additional $1,446 in resale value. However, attic insulation was the only project listed by Remodeling where the value was more than 100 percent of the cost. The front door came in second at 90.7 percent, and a minor kitchen remodel came in third at 80.2 percent.

Remodeling defines a minor kitchen remodel as "a functional but dated 200-square-foot kitchen with 30 linear feet of cabinetry and countertops, leave cabinet boxes in place but replace fronts with new shaker-style wood panels and drawer fronts, including new hardware. Replace cooktop/oven range and slide-in refrigerator with new energy-efficient models. Replace laminate countertops; install mid-priced sink and faucet. Repaint trim, add wall covering, and remove and replace resilient flooring."

Other popular home improvements, such as a basement or bathroom remodel, are also losers when it comes to recovering your investment at the time of sale. For a basement remodel, you'll get 70 cents on the dollar, and a bathroom remodel will only turn up 65 cents for every dollar you spend.

Although this study indicates that nearly everything you do to a house will cost more than it's worth, we don't suggest that sellers just dump places on the market "as is." There's a lot you can do to a house before bringing it to market, and sometimes it's necessary to make certain improvement just to make a house competitive with other properties for sale.

Plus, given the fact that virtually every buyer is going to do some sort of home inspection, it's also important to make sure everything is in working order. So, here's what we believe is the most efficient way to prepare a house for sale.

First, meet with your agent and, with an open mind, listen to what they suggest. Agents have seen a lot of houses, and they know what turns buyers on and off. Also, it can sometimes help to employ the services of a stager, not necessarily to transform everything in your house, but to work with what you've got and amplify the best use of your current furnishings.

Second, clean and declutter your house to within an inch of its life. A good dose of elbow grease, scrubbing every nook and cranny is one of the lease expensive yet most productive things you can do to get your house ready for sale. Part and parcel to that is getting rid of all the junk. You don't need to completely depersonalize your house, but you do need to clear the decks and display the fine china. It might seem kind of hokey to put out flowers and place settings in the formal dining room, but that stuff works.

If you want to know how it all should look, go to the model at some nice, new home construction projects. They know how to set up a house for maximum appeal.

Third, get some new paint and carpet. Next to cleaning, paint and carpet is the cheapest thing you can do with the greatest payoff. Plus, it gives a house a great fresh scent. Just like that new car smell, homes also have a smell that excites buyers, and it's not the smell of your dog or cat. Some homeowners don't even realize that their house smells because they've gotten used to it. Don't be self-conscious about asking your agent how the house smells. They'll know how it will smell to buyers and that can make a big difference.

In sum, forget about tearing out your kitchen and putting in a new one. You'll probably never recover the cost of that. Instead, just freshen the place up, make sure everything works right and price it accordingly. In the end, that's how you'll maximize the market value of your property.

Company Description

American Woodmark (NASDAQ: AMWD) is a manufacturer and distributor of kitchen cabinets for the remodeling and new home construction markets. The company offers approximately 500 cabinet lines, with 85 door designs in 21 colors, offering a wide range of products. Based in Virginia, the company serves customers through home centers, home builders, and independent dealers, while offering installation services through seven service centers located across the United States. (2016 Annual Report)

(click to enlarge) (Original Content, Data from AMWD Investor Relations)

The management team, led by CEO S. Cary Dunstan, has an average of 22 years of experience in a variety of industries. Since 2013, management has achieved significant growth in returns, highlighting the importance of skilled team. William Brandt, Jr., the company's original CEO, still owns 12% of the company, and 64% of employees own shares in the company - significant insider ownership like this is usually a sign of a healthy company, and ensures the firm's interests are aligned with shareholders.

Investment Thesis

The first reason to buy American Woodmark is to take advantage of these favorable trends - the housing market has grown at a CAGR of 12.3% since 2009, and has not yet breached the historical average, which is expected to occur next year in the wake of plentiful consumer credit and increased consumer confidence. (US Census Bureau) As the economy recovers, kitchen remodeling is a popular investment for consumers - it offers one of the best ROIs of any renovation at approx. 74-83%. (MoneySense)

(click to enlarge) (Original Content, Data from US Census Bureau)

The second reason to buy American Woodmark is its industry-best asset base and management team. Despite the fact that 40% of the company's assets are in the form of cash, it still achieved a 13.57% ROA last year, compared to a peer average of 7.43%. The company stepped up CapEx in recent years, growing it at a CAGR of 43.9% since 2012, and has invested in a pool of high-quality property, plant, and equipment, allowing it to outperform. Through management's skilled investment, the company achieved a ROIC of 21.47% compared to a 12.96% return from peers. (Bloomberg) This ROIC is well above AMWD's cost of capital, allowing the company to continue generating value long-term.

Industry Outlook

In the US, the Cabinet Manufacturing sector has been recovering since the collapse of the housing market in 2008. After reaching a high of 1,800,000 starts in 2006, the market collapsed to 554,000 in 2009, and has yet to recover to the 50-year average of 1,442,000. The industry is expected to grow 2.3% in 2017 as renovation, which drives two-thirds of demand for cabinets, rises with increases in consumer confidence and a low rate of unemployment.

The competitive landscape is relatively fragmented; the three largest companies account for just 28% of revenue - the largest companies are Fortune Brands Home & Security (NYSE: FBHS)(15.4%), American Woodmark (6.6%), and Masco (NYSE: MAS) (6.3%). However, 80% of companies in the industry have fewer than 10 employees, and lack a distribution network necessary to expand and provide a credible threat to industry giants.

Valuation

Despite its peer outperformance, American Woodmark is trading at a significant discount most multiples. Peers are trading at 22x LTM Price/Earnings, while American Woodmark is trading at 19x, implying a 14% return. Peers are also trading at 11x LTM EBITDA, while American Woodmark is trading at 9x, implying a 16% return. (Bloomberg)

Recommendation

My recommendation for American Woodmark is a BUY. The company is trading at $77.40 right now, with an average analyst price target of $88.77. My price target based on multiples and project cash flows is $87, implying a healthy 12% return for investors.

Don't Invest In The Housing Market; Buy American Woodmark On The Cheap - Seeking Alpha

Harold Bubil Real estate editor @haroldbubil

One of the most fascinating of the annual reports that help illustrate the real estate market is Remodeling magazines Cost. vs. Value.

The magazine, published by Hanley Wood, estimates the average cost of major and minor remodeling projects nationally and in various regions of the country.

Its a topic of great interest to homeowners, which is why we included a panel discussion on remodeling at Saturdays BuilderFest event at the Herald-Tribune.

The remodeling contractors, including Joe Angeleri, John King and Nathan Cross, discussed the considerations homeowners must make in deciding whether to build a new house, sell and buy an existing one, or remodel the one theyve got.

The Cost vs. Value report helps in the decision-making process.

Some of the most popular remodeling projects are major and minor kitchen overhauls, bathroom renovations and the addition of family rooms or new master suites.

For example, a major kitchen remodel, on average, costs $62,158 and adds $40,560 to the value of the home. Thats a recoup of 65.5 percent.

Adding a family room can cost nearly $90,000 but return only $62,000, or 69.3 percent, to the value of the house.

But the best return on investment? Adding ceiling insulation. Besides lowering your energy bill, the $1,343 cost adds $1,446 of value, or 107.7 percent.

Replacing an entry door with a steel door costs $1,413 and returns 90.7 percent, or $1,282 to the homes value.

Other top-performing improvements (80 percent or more) are adding manufactured stone veneer to the front of the house ($7,851 cost, 89.4 percent recoup), a minor kitchen remodel ($20,830 cost, 80.2 percent recouped) and replacing the garage door, especially with one that is storm-resistant ($3,304 cost, 85 percent recouped).

The worst performing remodeling projects on the magazines list: adding a backup power generator, adding a bathroom, adding a backyard patio and adding a composite deck, all of which recoup about 54 percent.

Remodeling projects that pay off - Sarasota Herald-Tribune

LOUISVILLE, Ky.

People looking to remodel their homes flocked to the Kentucky Home Improvement Expo this weekend.

The annual event began Friday and ended Sunday at the Triple Crown Pavilion.

The expo featured seminars, exhibits and demonstrations from several local companies.

Bernie Smith, of BCS Cabinets, offered advice to potential customers.

"It's not the look. The look is easy," Smith said.

Smith said many people focus too much on the aesthetics of a kitchen remodel instead of functionality.

"It is how the kitchen is going to be used," Smith said. "For the people who are serious about using a kitchen, which most are, it's real important - the layout, and then how cabinets are actually utilized."

Kristina Grabova, with Green Star Home Remodeling, said the same goes for a whole home remodel.

"The best that you can do is just get a clear idea of the project," Grabova said. "Communication is key."

Show manager Tim Reagan said the expo is all about putting attendees face-to-face with experts who can answer their home improvement questions.

"It's much more personal than like a Google search," Reagan said. "You can actually talk to somebody who does this and has been doing this for years."

People can also check out new products and services.

Kay Gramig told WLKY she was looking for flooring Sunday.

"I watch a lot of HGTV, and I like a lot of the stuff on there," Gramig said. "I want to see what they have here to offer."

Her friend Teresa Helm said she is remodeling her home.

"I wanted to make sure I got the latest offerings, so that when I'm ready to sell my house, it's up to date," Helm said.

In total, about 10,000 people were expected attended the three-day event.

Happy Valentines Day. No, this isnt a dating column, just a guide to navigating that often sticky personal connection the one between you and the man or woman you choose to update your living quarters, your home improvement contractor. Over the past year, Ive spoken to literally hundreds of homeowners about their experience with household renovation and remodels. They offer a wealth of real-world advice on how to find a contractor youll love ... or at least have a great working relationship with. Find out more with the following 10 tips.

Think, think, think. Before a major project such as redoing a kitchen, get clear about what you (and your partner, if youre coupled) want. Consider questions like small kitchen remodel or a complete overhaul?, top-of-the-line quartz countertops or easy-on-the-wallet laminate?, and so on. Besides brainstorming ideas for the kitchen of your dreams, take into account your budget and your timeline. This will allow you to present your contractor with a reasonably organized plan.

Do your homework. Shop around to find out prices and ratings for both typical labor costs and item(s) youre going to have installed, whether it be plumbing fixtures, flooring, or a new HVAC system. Save remodel inspirations you particularly like to a Pinterest board. Once again, youll be preparing yourself to discuss your wants with the contractor you eventually hire.

Read contractor reviews. Look for remodeling contractors whose customers have (mostly) glowing reports. When the occasional problem is mentioned, check out how it was dealt with. An unresolved issue or even worse, one that degenerated into a bout of online name-calling is an obvious red flag.

Keep it legal. Protect yourself; negotiate only with remodelers who provide proof that they are licensed, bonded, and fully insured. To double check whether a contractors license is valid, do a quick search of your state governments website listings.

Get more than one estimate. Request multiple estimates so you can choose the remodeler with the best deal not necessarily the lowest price, but the one that will give you the most for your money. Make sure important information such as brand names and model numbers of any materials and appliances is included.

Ask questions. This is where your advance research comes in handy. Based on what youve learned, ask your potential hire questions about all the details for instance, scheduling or warranties upfront. That way when you make your decision, you wont be comparing apples to oranges.

Check with past customers. Contact local clients to find out more about how a particular remodeler performed. Request references, but also investigate via sources like neighborhood e-bulletin boards. Look at examples of past work and see for yourself whether it has held up over time.

Listen to your feelings. This one point is mentioned over and over by homeowners from all walks of life not just the retired trial lawyer or the bank loan officer. Pay attention to the instinct which tells you heres a contractor that cares about customers or the opposite, stay away from this one! Dont use this as the sole basis for your hiring decision, of course, but if all other factors check out, its fine to go with your gut.

Write a contract. When you make a deal with the contractor youve chosen, put a ring on it, so to speak. Hash out a contract that includes a description of the remodeling services to be performed; supplies to be used; responsibility for pulling permits; dates of essential milestones; and payment terms. Have both parties sign before any cash ever changes hands.

Share the love. When you successfully complete a home remodel with a contractor whos a keeper, let the world know. Post online reviews telling exactly why you love this guy or gals work.
