Horizon Cabinet Door Co. of America Sees Uptick in Contractor-Led Business

Newtown, Connecticut, July 20, 2012 - Horizon Cabinet Door Co. of America, suppliers of high-quality, American-made cabinet doors, drawer fronts, custom moldings, paints, stains and other products, reports business from kitchen and bath remodeling contractors is slowly shifting back to pre-2008 levels, which means a return to repeat business opportunities and fewer do-it-yourself (DIY) customers.

According to reports from the National Association of the Remodeling Industry, among others, homeowners are quietly shifting DIY projects back on to professional remodeling contractors, reflecting improved consumer confidence in the housing market and the economy as a whole.

The news is music to the ears of key leaders in the cabinetry industry such as Rick Haylon, cabinet doors product specialist at Horizon. Haylon said his company has seen more contractor-led project business coming his way in the last several months as opposed to the predominantly DIY-led market that has prevailed since 2008, the height of the housing market slump and economic downturn for the building industry.

"Without a doubt, we have seen more business coming back from kitchen and bath remodeling contractors in the last several months," said Haylon. "While not yet at pre-2008 levels, this is obviously a great trend because we rely on repeat business from contractors to help keep our prices the lowest on the market. We value our homeowner customers immensely, but frankly we are happy to see a return to contractor accounts because it indicates an overall improvement in the remodeling industry."

The shift comes on the heels of the launch of Horizon's new e-commerce site, which offers contractors (and consumers) access to thousands of choices for custom, high-quality cabinet doors, drawer boxes, accessories, paints, stains and other products, backed by superior online point-and-click navigation, along with easy-to-use selection and purchasing tools.

"We certainly see the launch of our new e-commerce site has having been completed right on time for this release of pent up demand for contractor business," said Haylon. "We look forward to serving our contractors and consumers both with outstanding cabinetry products and service, backed by the best online e-commerce presence we can provide."
