BELLEVILLE – For Coy Mullenix, the Home Builders & Remodelers Metro East Association Home Expo is a chance to share his construction company with the Metro East region.

CMI Construction & Remodeling prides itself on transparency and low prices, Mullenix said. He explained that the business is the “go-to” contractor for area homes that range from $650,000 to $2.5–3 million, and every dollar is accounted for.
