Please Join Us for an Evening of Networking & Product Updates at this Important
Dinner Meeting

March 1st, 2012 Thursday 5:00 - 9:00 Saybrook Point Inn 2 Bridge Street Old Saybrook, CT 06475

March 6th, 2012 Tuesday 5:00 - 9:00 Waters Edge at Giovanni's 2748 Post Road Darien, CT 06820

While 2012 is starting with the same kind of optimism regarding housing and the economy that prevailed at the start of 2011, there are several reasons to believe that real improvement will actually materialize this year rather than fizzling out as it did in the past.

We are seeing improving GDP growth, stronger employment figures and slight gains in consumer confidence. Although small, these factors bode well for a slow but relatively steady recovery in the months ahead.

Remodeling is also in relatively good shape, with the dollar amount of remodeling projects on owner-occupied homes now actually beating the dollar amount of new-home construction taking place. The bottom line for 2012 is that, while demand for new homes won't "burst forward," it will slowly improve.

It is important to Ring’s End that our customers are prepared with the tools and the knowledge to successfully move forward in this economy. Just as we believe that our staff knows your business and is knowledgeable about the products & services you need to satisfy your clients. We too believe that our customers are a cut above the rest and we will always strive to keep you informed of the latest product innovations, technologies and methods to assure your success.
