The Greater Ottawa Home Builders’ Association (GOHBA) has announced the return of its annual RenoTour Parade of Homes for 2025. The Oct. 19 event (10:00 a.m to 4:00 p.m.), which showcases the work of Ottawa’s top renovators and custom home builders, offers a unique opportunity for the public to tour exceptional home renovation projects and custom-built residences.
The tour is designed to connect homeowners with trusted professionals in the renovation industry. According to GOHBA, the event provides a platform for renovators to “turn their next project into their best marketing tool.”
“The RenoTour gives prospective clients the rare chance to walk through completed renovations in person,” GOHBA said in a statement on its website. “It’s an unmatched way to highlight quality, creativity, and attention to detail.”
Participating renovators and custom builders will have their work featured across a variety of media outlets, including Ottawa Renovates Magazine, All Things Home, and potentially the Ottawa Citizen. The event also includes a significant digital and social media campaign, with promotional materials shared across GOHBA’s platforms.
“We want to amplify the brands of our members,” the association stated. “Their company’s logo and work will be featured across print, digital, and event materials before, during, and after the tour.”
A premium visibility package is also available, offering a high-quality virtual tour of the project hosted on the GOHBA website for a minimum of one year. This provides “long-term exposure and a valuable sales tool” that can be repurposed by the builders.
The RenoTour is an initiative of GOHBA’s Renovators’ Council, which works to promote the RenoMark™ program, a code of conduct for renovator members. The tour aims to educate the public about the benefits of working with professional renovators.
