Why Join the Council
Credibility
Stand out as the professional. Your professionalism and quality workmanship are recognized through affiliation with a large and reputable trade association, such as the Iowa City Area HBA and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). The Remodelers Council helps you maintain that credibility by:
- Identifying you as a professional actively involved in the remodeling industry.
- Referring your company to interested customers.
- Recognizing your achievements through local and national awards programs.
- Endorsing the nationally recognized Home Owners Warranty (HOW) Program for qualified Remodelers.
- Offering a showcase that will allow Remodelers the opportunity to show their work to potential clients.
Professional Association
It is true there is strength in numbers, and professionals who support the industry work together to make their voice heard. By becoming a Remodelers Council member, you help guide the future of the industry and improve the strength and image of the remodeling industry as a whole. You become proactive, rather than reactive, staying one step ahead of the competition and advancing your business.
Industry Information
Work smarter and stay miles ahead of the competition with important information on critical issues. Profit from the expertise and business knowledge of other professionals. Stay on the cutting edge of your industry. Be tuned in to the latest remodeling trends, legislative developments and technology. Receive local and national publications that keep you in touch with remodeling information.
Exposure
Increase visibility for you and your company among peers and consumers via networking opportunities at the local and national level that will build your client base. Associating with other professionals increases your business contacts with reputable subcontractors, suppliers and fellow remodelers. Be part of regular membership meetings, committee participation and awards programs. In addition, take advantage of advertising opportunities, current programs and a referral system.
Representation
There is strength in numbers. The Iowa City Area HBA and NAHB maintain a powerful voice that influences local, state and federal policy issues that can have a major impact on the building/remodeling industry.

Advance your career and/or business by building professional skills through the many educational programs — such as seminars, workshops and round table discussions — on a variety of timely topics offered locally and nationally.
