Members of this council are afforded numerous educational and networking opportunities, as well as the latest news on industry trends and events. The overall goal of the council is to raise the level of professionalism of the remodeling industry. In addition, remodelers at the local level contribute thousands of hours each year to the United Way, Habitat for Humanity, Christmas in April, the Salvation Army, the Red Cross and a variety of youth programs. In an effort to protect consumers, the HBAA Remodelors Council has joined forces with the State of Alabama Attorney General s Office of Consumer Affairs, the Better Business Bureau, and the Alabama Home Builders Licensure Board for an annual education program. Each May, the four groups educate consumers on what to look for in a licensed, professional remodeler and how to protect themselves from home repair fraud.
Women play a vital and ever-increasing role in the construction industry.
Through the council, they are able to serve the association, industry and community in a variety of ways. Community service projects to benefit children and underprivileged persons are at the forefront of the council s objectives.
