Summary: There are many, many different trade magazines. Virtually each aspect of building and remodeling has its own. For example, there are ones that cover just concrete, brick, heating and cooling, roofing, tile, etc. There simply are not enough hours in the day to read all of them!
Trade Magazines
If you have a superb public library, you should visit the periodical section one afternoon and start to browse. You will be amazed at the hundreds of trade publications.
Some of the publications are offered to members of the trade at no cost. They are supported entirely by advertising. There are many of these in the residential construction field. If you want to get the magazine and can't convince the publisher that you have a construction company, you often can still get the magazine for a modest fee in most cases.
Here are some excellent FREE trade publications if you are interested in them:
