In January, home builders and remodelers will be approved for membership in the Home Builders Association of Greenville after completing a verification process that determines that each have met the association?s new standards of membership.
We introduced the new standards this past August because we believe the Home Builders Association of Greenville has a significant role to play in the professionalism and integrity of our industry. We believe these standards will help consumers select qualified home building and home improvement specialists in our area, and help assure them that doing business with a member of the HBA of Greenville is a good investment.
Under the new guidelines, a builder or remodeler applying for membership in the HBA of Greenville must:
? Be licensed by the State of South Carolina as a Residential Builder or General Contractor
? Be in business for one or more years.
? Be free of unresolved judgments for one year.
? Maintain General Liability insurance of at least $1 million.
? Maintain Workers Compensation insurance consistent with state law.
? Offer a minimum of a one-year warranty on each home built, on additions to homes, and on remodeled homes when mechanical systems are replaced.
? Use a written contract in all business with consumers.
? Keep the company?s HBA account current, including dues.
Several of our members have completed the verification process with an eye toward 2013. Here are five of those companies:
