Founded in 1957,
the Home Builders
and Remodelers
Association (HBRA)
of Vermont is an
association of more
than 500 members. One-third of
our members are
home builders and/
or remodelers. The
remaining members are associates
working in closely related fields within
the housing industry, such as mortgage, finance, Realtors®, building
products and services.
Why Do Business with
an HBRA Member
If you're in the market for a new home, you should shop for your builder as
carefully as you shop for your home. Since Vermont does not require licensure for contractors it can sometimes be difficult to make an informed buying
decision. This is where the Home Builders and Remodelers Association can
be a helpful guide.
The HBRA serves its members in a variety of ways, which in turn benefits
consumers. Through education, including business management, professional
designations, customer service, construction techniques and more, the
Association strives to improve the business performance of members. By working with an HBRA member, consumers know they are working with an individual and/or company committed to professional growth.
HBRA members have access to local, state and national resources for industry
information, research and technical expertise. Through publications,
tradeshows, seminars and conferences, members have exposure to the latest
building products and services. With these opportunities available to them,
association members can provide value-added insights and cost-saving techniques to their customers.
Membership in the HBRA is a choice and one that requires the commitment
of annual dues. The individuals and/or companies who join the HBRA have
sought out the services the association provides to help them maintain high
standards in all aspects of their business.
Today’s home building industry requires skilled craftspeople and knowledgeable professionals who are, at the same time, modern businesspeople committed to quality and a solid code of ethics. The HBRA helps these professionals
in their challenge of wearing many hats and constantly staying abreast of the
latest industry trends, new building technology, innovative financing plans,
changes in state and local building codes and ordinances and much more.
You want to be confident that your builder, remodeler, contractor and suppliers are current on the things that are important to the success of your project.
Whether you are building a new home or improving the home you have, the
HBRA is on your side by encouraging in its members high standards for professionalism, the production of quality products and the practice of exceptional customer service.
Find a professional to help you with your housing needs by browsing through
this home buyer’s guide. This guide includes St. Albans, Georgia, Swanton,
Fairfax, Milton, North & South Hero and reaching out to Sheldon and Grand
Isle. Or you can visit www.vtbuilders.com and use the “Find A Builder &
Resources” tool. Here you will find a complete directory of current HBRA
members and you can search by company name, county or type of
product/service.
