From mold-killing paint to whole-house backup generators, recovering from the last superstorm and preparing for the next one are the themes of an annual trade show Wednesday in Hauppauge.

The Long Island Builders Institute sponsors the annual trade show, now in its 23rd year, for homeowners and the construction and real estate industries to see the latest products to rebuild and remodel homes.

This year they’re calling the show the Superstorm Resource Expo; it will be open to the public from 4:30 to 8 p.m. at the Hyatt Regency Long Island Hotel, 1717 Motor Pkwy. Nearly 100 exhibitors will show their products and services. There will also be seminars covering reconstruction, installation of permanent backup generators and legal issues faced by contractors.
