Being a member of the Home Builders Association of Greater Toledo (HBA) is more than annual dues and a directory listing. It is a clear indication of how a builder or remodeler views their profession; a view that can give you a great deal of satisfaction with your next project.
HBA members have confidence in their skills and pride in their reputations. HBA members are visible to other association members, suppliers, subcontractors and to the buying public. For a professional who succeeds through referrals, this visibility is critical.
Members sign our Code of Ethics upon joining the association and are required to build to industry standards. Before you choose your builder or remodeler, consider that an HBA member has taken steps to improve their professionalism and expertise. HBA members have opportunities to:
Attend trade shows and conventions to stay on top of the latest industry trends and products.
Receive valuable updates to local building codes to keep projects running smoothly.
Attend educational classes and training seminars.
Build relationships with other industry professionals.
Benefit from the wealth of knowledge and skills from other HBA members as well as the Ohio Home Builders Association (OHBA) and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).
