Why Choose an HBA Member?

You know the specifications, and you have received quotes from two building professionals. One is a Home Builders Association (HBA) member, the other is not.

Before you choose your builder or remodelor, consider that the HBA member has taken steps to improve his or her professionalism and expertise. As an HBA member, he has the opportunity to: attend training seminars, be advised regularly of new products and techniques, and be updated of changes to local building codes so his projects won’t hit snags with officials. He is also invited to trade shows and conventions where he can learn what’s new and find the greatest values for his customers.

HBA members have confidence in their skills and pride in their reputations because they must stand shoulder-to-shoulder with their peers. They know that if a complaint is received by the HBA, their peers will review the situation. HBA members are visible to other association members, suppliers, subcontractors and to the buying public. For the professional in the building trade, who succeeds through good referrals, this visibility is critical.

An HBA membership is more than annual dues and a handful of benefits. It’s a clear indication of how a builder, remodelor or associated company views their profession; a view that can give you a great deal of satisfaction with your home building or remodeling project.
