Your home is likely your largest investment, and even simple remodels can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars, so you want to make sure you find a contractor you can trust. Here are some important considerations to ensure you make the right decisions when you find, evaluate and hire a remodeler. The best place to start is the Membership Directory of Professional Remodelers at www.hbaswil.org. A professional remodeler will uphold the highest professional and ethical standards in the industry. Ask local independent trade contractors, building materials suppliers, architects, engineers, home inspectors, lenders and insurance professionals for recommendations. Once you have a list of potential home remodelers for your project, do research to verify that they are appropriately licensed and have a good business track record. Look them up with your local or state office of consumer protection and the local Better Business Bureau, as well as with your state’s licensing agency and the state and local building inspectors. Verify that the remodeler has the appropriate licenses and registrations, and see if they have received any complaints about the remodeler and if so, were those complaints resolved satisfactorily? When you begin meeting with remodelers, you want to find out information such as: • How long they have been in business in your community? Can they provide references from customers and suppliers they work with? • Do they carry insurance that protects you from claims arising from property damage or job site injuries? Ask for a copy of the insurance certificates. • Do they arrange for the building permit? • Do they provide a written estimate before beginning the work, and a detailed contract that spells out the work that will and will not be performed, protects both of you, provides a fair payment schedule contract and complies with local, state, and federal laws? • Do they offer a warranty? What is covered under the warranty and for how long? Contact the Home Builders Association of Greater Southwest Illinois for names of remodeler members by visiting our website at www.hbaswil.org or call (618) 343-6331.

SUNDAY FEBRUARY 25 2018 BELLEVILLE NEWS-DEMOCRAT ..................... LOOK FOR THE HBA LOGO! What is the Home Builders Association of Greater Southwest Illinois? A business that is a member of the HBA has taken an educated stand to be part of a professional trade organization to enhance their business in a positive path. A Home Builder Association (HBA) member demonstrates their commitment to the goals of the housing industry in this market. HBA is the only organization of its kind that is always working to assist their members with current information, education and support that will benefit the members business. HBA is also consumer focused, they use their role as a community leader to inform and educate the public in consumer protection, housing trends, life safety issues, new and innovative products and money-saving tips. These services are provided to consumers in a variety of ways; Spring Home Show, Home Envy, various media (tv, radio, print and facebook), Resource Guide and their very informative website www.hbaswil.org. The HBA and its members actively support local community organizations. During the 2017 Home Shows the Community Interfaith Food Pantry and Faith Baptist Church Food Pantry received over 1000 pounds of can goods and the donations were collected for the Violence Prevention Center which helped many families in need of simple daily supplies. The Professional Women in Building Metro East gave four scholarships ranging from $250 - $1,000 to young women furthering their education in the building industry, donations were made to Partner for Pets, O’Fallon Community Food Pantry, coat drive for Cahokia Citizens Food Pantry and four families were adopted for Christmas from Big Brothers/Big Sisters. When a business becomes a member with the local HBA they also become members of the Home Builders Association of Illinois (HBAI) and National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) as well. This gives the member the advantage of having a wide range of tools, resources and information that is valuable in keeping their business current in the housing industry. Members have educational opportunities to attend seminars designed to keep them aware of regulatory developments, trends and products to help them grow and have a successful business while delivering their customers and the communities they build a great service and value. When buying or building a house it is suggested that the buyer ask the builder, contractors and suppliers that are involved if they are a HBA member. That way you’ll be reassured to know you are dealing with a professional that has made an educated commitment.

Once the audit has been completed, the energy advisor will make customized recommendations on how to improve your home’s energy efficiency. After you have decided which improvements you want to make, a trusted local contractor who is registered with the program will install the energy-saving products and help you take full advantage of the available incentives. Customers who have used the Home Efficiency offering and followed the recommendations have successfully lowered their energy bills by hundreds of dollars and improved home comfort. There are certain eligibility requirements for the offering. Stop by Ameren Illinois’ booth or visit AmerenIllinoisSavings.com to get more specifics.
