Begin the New Year with Fresh Home Inspiration
By Jill M. Hayes, Owner and CEO New York Sash
Homeowners across the Mohawk Valley will have their premier opportunity to jump-start renovation plans and find fresh home inspiration when the 2026 Home Show at the Nexus Center returns on Saturday, January 31 and Sunday, February 1, 2026. Presented by New York Sash, it is the region’s largest and most exciting home-improvement event! This two-day showcase brings together the area’s top remodelers, designers, and service providers—along with a full lineup of entertainment to make the weekend fun for the entire family.
The Nexus Center transforms into a vibrant marketplace featuring more than one hundred vendors specializing in every area of home improvement, from kitchen and bath remodeling to lawn equipment, energy-efficient windows, siding, fencing, and more. For homeowners, the ability to compare so many services and products in one place is invaluable. Instead of juggling multiple appointments or showroom visits, guests can speak directly with professionals, gather inspiration, and explore options at their own pace.
The show’s timing is intentional. January is widely recognized as one of the smartest months to plan or buy home improvements. Contractor schedules are more open, pricing is often more competitive, and suppliers often run post-holiday promotions. With new budgets and renewed motivation, homeowners find the New Year to be the ideal moment to kick off projects that will enhance comfort, efficiency, and property value throughout 2026.
Show sponsor and returning exhibitor Clinton Tractor and Implement Co. will display a range of equipment to tackle all kinds of outdoor property projects, including Ferris mowers, Kress electric mowers, Hotsy hot water pressure washers, and New Holland tractors. Owner John Calidonna highlights the value of the in-person experience: “It’s an opportunity for people to see the products first-hand and talk to the experts at Clinton Tractor about what products are right for them.”
Another returning exhibitor is B&K Fencing, whose owner Tyler Brown shared what visitors can expect: “We will be presenting several different samples of fence, showing customers the durability of our products along with different styles and colors that we have to offer.”
Katie Reilly, VP of Marketing and Culture at New York Sash describes what you’ll find from the presenting sponsor: “When homeowners visit New York Sash at the Home Show, they’ll see real products on display to see, touch, and feel, with experts to talk with to get your questions answered, and amazing deals to get your spring projects started.”
A Major Giveaway Returns for 2026 Home Show Attendees
Adding even more excitement to the weekend, New York Sash is once again teaming up with the Home Show for an amazing contest: The $25,000 Home Improvement Giveaway! One lucky homeowner will win $25,000 worth of New York Sash products professionally installed in their home. The winner can choose between new windows, siding, doors, or a new bathroom, all of which can be seen on display at the New York Sash booth. The drawing will take place live at the Home Show, with a $1,000 cash kicker if the winner is in attendance when drawn.
With 2026 underway, the Home Show at the Nexus Center Show it the ultimate destination for homeowners ready to turn New Year inspiration into real home transformation. Whether you are dreaming big or planning practical upgrades, it is the perfect way to spend a weekend exploring, learning, and envisioning what your home can become in the year ahead.
