<h4><strong>National Remodeling Month Reminds Consumers of </strong></h4>
</div>
<div align="center">
<h4><strong>the Value of Home Improvements</strong></h4>
</div>
<div align="center"><font size="2"><em>Local Remodelers Experience Steady Demand for Home Updates</em><br />
<br />
</font></div>
<div></div>
<div><font size="2">LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 1, 2008 – With spring being the time of year when many people make plans to remodel, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) has designated May as National Home Remodeling Month. According to NAHB, Americans spent an estimated $235 billion in home remodeling in 2007, up from $233 billion in 2006. Remodeling is an investment in a home's longevity, usefulness and value. In addition, remodeling can modernize homes, make them more comfortable and improve energy-efficiency and functionality.<br />
<br />
</font></div>
<div></div>
<div><font size="2">National Remodeling Month reminds consumers of the value of making home improvements and the need to search out trusted professionals to ensure the experience and end result of a project are positive. Here in Greater Louisville, the Home Builders Association of Louisville (HBAL), offers insight on the local remodeling community and the growing consumer interest in home improvement. HBAL Executive Vice President Chuck Kavanaugh emphasizes that remodeling is a service and not merely a product. "Choosing a remodeler is important, especially when consumers consider that inevitably they’ll be sharing their home with the remodelers’ crews for weeks or even months, depending on the scale of the project," Kavanaugh explained. "A homeowner needs to make that choice carefully. Within our membership, we have a designation entitled, 'Registered Remodelors.' These individuals have met strict requirements to achieve this title. It's not something you can just simply pay your dues and be a part of," he said. According to Kavanaugh, potential Registered Remodelors must have conducted their business for at least five years and completed 10 structural projects in order to apply for the designation. Then, they are reviewed by staff at the association as well as by existing members.<br />
<br />
</font></div>
<div></div>
<div><font size="2">The Remodelors Council of HBAL was formed in 1976. Today it includes more than 80 members who are certified Registered Remodelors. According to HBAL Remodelers Council Chair David Rateau, Rateau Construction Co., Inc. local remodelers have seen an increase in business in recent years, with many people choosing to upgrade their current homes and increase the value of their investment. "A lot of times remodeling is a result of a lifestyle change. Either you've had another child or a parent is coming to live with you. In many cases, you've gotten a promotion you've been wanting and like where you live, so you just want to update that bathroom you've been putting up with for the last 10 years," he explained.<br />
<br />
</font></div>
<div></div>
<div><font size="2">Rateau said that one of the most popular influences in kitchen remodeling jobs is the fact that what used to be considered a luxury kitchen has now become the norm. "Now, some of those things like granite countertops are just expected. An average new kitchen went up from $25,000 to $50,000," he explained. "In the Louisville market, there are a lot of older homes in good locations, and people don't want to move out of their historic neighborhoods. So, they choose to remodel, and kitchens are one of the first things they do," he said.<br />
<br />
</font></div>
<div></div>
<div><font size="2">According to Rateau, the upcoming Tour of Remodeled Homes held each August has become an increasingly popular event. "You get to see some spectacular projects. People look to that event to get ideas and see what new products are on the market. If you're going to spend money remodeling a new home, you want to know what's in vogue. The show just keeps getting more popular each year," Rateau said.<br />

<div>
<p><strong><u><font size="2">Current Facts About the Remodeling Industry</font></u></strong></p>
</div>
<div><font size="2"><strong>What are the most popular remodeling jobs?</strong> </font></div>
<div><font size="2">According to NAHB surveys, the top jobs ordered by popularity are: </font></div>
<div><font size="2">• Kitchen remodeling </font></div>
<div><font size="2">• Bathroom remodeling </font></div>
<div><font size="2">• Room additions </font></div>
<div><font size="2">• Whole house remodeling </font></div>
<div><font size="2">• Windows/doors replacement </font></div>
<div><font size="2">• Bathroom additions </font></div>
<div><font size="2">• Finished basements </font></div>
<div><font size="2">• Siding </font></div>
<div><font size="2">• Decks </font></div>
<div><font size="2">• Roofing<br />
<br />
</font></div>
<div></div>
<div><font size="2"><strong>The top reasons to remodel right now...</strong> </font></div>
<div><font size="2">• With interest rates at historic lows, now is the perfect time to invest in home remodeling before rates increase again.</font></div>
<div><font size="2">• Homes need regular maintenance and repair to stay in top condition – simply replacing siding to fix drafts or repairing the roof to stop leaks can drastically improve home performance. </font></div>
<div><font size="2">• Remodeling improves home value – smart remodels protect your greatest investment: your home. </font></div>
<div><font size="2">• Modernizing makes your home more beautiful and updating your home makes it more comfortable and functional. </font></div>
<div><font size="2">• Energy-efficient homes save owners money. Remodels that improve home energy and water efficiency reduce bills, and installing long-life products will save on future replacement expenses</font></div>
<div><font size="2">• Attractive exteriors improve the curb appeal of your home, such as new siding, fresh paint, clean gutters, neat landscaping, and an intact roof improve the first impression of your home, increasing home value and sales potential. </font></div>
<div><font size="2">• Outdoor living spaces expand your home for entertaining and play on the popular trend of outdoor entertaining with the addition of a deck, patio, or porch to your home. </font></div>
<div><font size="2">• Kitchen remodels enhance functionality, and remodelers can also use good design to make your kitchen work better. </font></div>
<div><font size="2">• Bathroom remodels improve comfort and add home value by replacing cabinets, installing a new sink or tub, or improving bathroom lighting. </font></div>
<div><font size="2">• Aging-in-place or universal design remodels increases home accessibility.<br />

<span style="COLOR: black">Home builders strive to be good neighbors to the people in the communities where they work and live. One of the most important ways that builders demon­strate their concern for the community and its residents is by constructing high quality, well-designed homes. Nothing says "I care" more than an excellent product that enhances the neighborhood and fulfills the unique needs of buyers in the local community. <br />
<br />
</span><span style="COLOR: black">Home builders at hundreds of state and local home builders associations through­out the country also show that they care about their community and its residents through a wide range of projects designed to help provide shelter for those in need. In particular, many associations have provided administrative assistance, skilled labor and materials on projects jointly sponsored with Habitat for Humanity.</span></div>
<div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 150%"><strong><span style="COLOR: black"><br />
</span></strong><span style="COLOR: black">Other home builder associations have participated in Rebuilding Together with Christmas in April projects where they did essential repairs and renovations for home owners who could not afford them. Builders have also constructed shelters for battered women and their children, constructed playgrounds and built wheelchair ramps at the homes of those with disabili­ties. Sometimes associations that sponsor a Parade of Homes charge admission fees and then donate the proceeds to charity. And several home builders associations in areas near national parks have begun working to improve the quality of housing for park employees.<br />
<br />
</span><span style="COLOR: black">Yet another way that individual builders show their concern for the area where they live and do business is by participating in local government, serving on planning and zoning boards and working with local government officials to ensure that infrastructure such as schools, roads, sidewalks and water and sewer plants is available to meet the needs of a dynamic, growing community. Many builders also take time out of their busy schedules to visit local schools and explain the home building process to students. And if you look at the member­ship rosters of religious organiza­tions, civic and cultural groups and children's sports clubs you're sure to find home builders on the list.<br />
<br />
</span><span style="COLOR: black">The list of things that builders do to help the community goes on and on, but the common thread running through all of these projects is that builders care. They care about their communities and their neighbors and show that concern in a multitude of ways.</span></div> Media Kithttp://www.hbal.com/site/newsroom/media-kit.html2009-11-09T11:47:44Z

<p><strong><u>Committees of the HBAL</u></strong></p>
<p>ACTIVATION & RETENTION COMMITTEE</p>
<p>Chairman: Rob Eberenz</p>
<p>The Activation Committee works on increasing involvement in Association activities by Builder and Associate Members. For more information on the Activation Committee contact Nicole Bouchard at <a href="mailto:nicole@hbal.com">nicole@hbal.com</a>.<br />
<br />
ADVERTISING AND PUBLIC RELATIONS COMMITTEE</p>
<p>Chairman: Stan Logan, Jr.</p>
<p>The Advertising and Public Relations Committeeis an integral part of the HBAL when it comes to the promotion of our members. This committee looks at the membership as a whole and all the counties it encompasses when promoting the HBAL to consumers. The committee encourages members to use the HBAL logo on all business related items, and promotes the association’s members to the local media and appropriate statewide and national outlets. Contact Tara Brinkmoeller at <a href="mailto:tara@hbal.com">tara@hbal.com</a> for more information. <br />
<br />
ASSOCIATES ADVISORY COMMITTEE</p>
<p>Chairman: Larry Link</p>
<p>The Associate membership of the HBAL contributes in many vital ways to the Association and the community. By their membership, the HBAL is a much stronger and larger organization than it would be if it were composed only of builders and remodelers. This in turn makes the Association a force to be reckoned with, a loud voice in support of the housing industry. The committee oversees the new Premier Associate Program and is responsible for approving Premier applications and announcing the appointees to the membership. The Associates Advisory Committee, comprised solely of Associate members, represents the interests of each member and, not surprisingly, sponsors the annual "HBAL Golf Outing", the "Associate's Table Top Night." Increased business contacts are an important benefit for Associate members.

<p> </p> History of HBALhttp://www.hbal.com/site/about-hbal/history-of-hbal.html2008-03-20T12:05:35Z
<font size="2">
<p>History of the HBAL</p>
<p>Soon after that meeting in 1946, they formally applied to National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) for charter. That charter was granted in the fall of 1946 under the name "Associated Home Builders of Louisville". The original charter application contained the names of eighteen members. </p>
<p>From that first meeting over 50 years ago, the organization has grown to be one of the fourth largest home builders' associations in the United States. The group, which changed its name to Home Builders Association of Louisville in 1962, includes more the 2,700 member companies, corporations and individuals involved in the greater housing industry. Its membership encompasses residential and light commercial construction, remodeling and home improvement in the Jefferson, Oldham, Bullitt, Shelby, Trimble, Henry and Spencer county areas. </p>
<p>Savings and loan institutions, mortgage and commercial banks, subcontractors, suppliers, manufacturers, development firms, real estate brokers and agents, engineers, architectural firms and other companies and individuals with industry related businesses comprise the associate membership of the HBAL. </p>
<p>As a professional trade association, the HBAL is dedicated to the principle that the American dream of homeownership is central to the community's spirit and well-being and that the ability to realize that dream must be preserved for all generations. To that end, the Association concerns itself with single family home construction, land development, and condominium and multi-family construction, remodeling and rehabilitation of existing property, sales and marketing of new homes, community projects, governmental affairs and related building and housing activities. </p>
<p>The Association also serves the public as a referral agency on behalf of the industry. The Association complies and publishes data on building permit activity, publishes several periodicals detailing how to choose a reputable builder or remodeler and on a daily basis, the association's staff directly advises the public about membership status of companies or individuals. The HBAL also makes use of all media resources to convey their message, including radio, television, newspaper and magazine advertising to encourage the home buying public to do business with a member. </p>
<p>The Association is much more than a beautiful building, a talented staff, or a dedicated membership. It is an integral part of the community it serves. In its continuing effort to promote its principals and ideals, the Association is involved in many programs, activities and services that benefit not only its own members, but the citizens of the entire Louisville metro area. </p>

</strong>
<p>The purchase of a new home opens doors of opportunity. It is exciting to be able to get what you want in a home. The question is, what do you look for? You will probably want to include the most modern conveniences in electronics and security. You will want to make sure that your home is constructed with quality building techniques and that the materials used are the best value for your budget. Your new home should also incorporate the latest in energy efficiency. <br />
<br />
These are just a few of the many items to consider when looking for a new home. But if you miss one other detail, all of the rest may not matter. You need to be certain to choose a professional builder. <br />
<br />
Most of us know what to look for when choosing a physician or an attorney. There are established industry credentials that we rely on to provide us with guidance in choosing the person who is best qualified for our situation. In the home building industry, that is not always the case. When looking for a professional builder you want someone who:<br />
<br />
• Is informed on new products </p>
<p>• Is linked to a network of industry professionals on the local, state and national level </p>
<p>• Has a commitment to continuing education </p>
<p>• Has the ability to address special building issues/techniques </p>
<p>• Has access to a conciliation process should problems arise that cannot be easily resolved<br />
<br />
If these are the qualities you are looking for in the builder of your new home, we have the builder for you. Actually, we have the builders for you – Registered Builders of the Home Builders Association of Louisville. As a member of the Home Builders Association of Louisville, Registered Builders are automatically members of the Home Builders Association of Kentucky and the National Association of Home Builders. These three organizations combine to provide Registered Builders with an unmatched network of information on the latest in home construction techniques, products, codes, environmental issues, etc. </p>
<p><br />
What is a Registered Builder?</p>
<p>A Registered Builder is not simply a title that can be purchased and displayed on company vehicles and advertising. A Registered Builder is a professional designation granted to a builder who meets specific requirements. In order to become a Registered Builder, an applicant must:<br />
<br />
• Have experience in the home or commercial construction profession for a specified period of time </p>
<p>• Have demonstrated financial and on-site responsibilities </p>
<p>• Be a full-time professional who derives his or her principal income from construction and/or related real estate activities </p>
<p>• Submit the names of previous customers as references </p>
<p>• Have Registered Builder sponsors with personal knowledge of the applicants construction activity and business integrity </p>
<p>• Must have acceptable credit history </p>
<p>• Appear before a committee of Registered Builders for a personal interview </p>
<p>• Must agree to take part in continuing education </p>
<p>• Must agree to abide by the Code of Ethics of the Home Builders Association of Louisville </p>
<p>• Must agree to a conciliation process and/or binding arbitration in the event of an unresolved complaint from a customer All of these factors combine to provide you with an assurance that you are dealing with a professional who is dedicated to providing you with a quality home. </p>
<p><br />
What is the advantage of choosing a Registered Builder?</p>
<p>Two of the most important factors that provide consumers with an advantage when choosing a Registered Builder are education and access to an established conciliation process. <br />
<br />
The Home Builders Association of Louisville provides an education program that is unparalleled. It is designed for both builders who are just getting started in the industry as well as Registered Builders who want to enhance their knowledge of various aspects of the home building industry. The program is divided into four major categories: <br />
<br />
1. Building Basics </p>
<p>2. Business </p>
<p>3. Total Quality Management </p>
<p>4. Sales and Marketing</p>
<p>The 80-hour curriculum available gives Registered Builders an advantage when it comes to building a business that provides customers with the best possible product. The classes are taught by builders and industry professionals who have a commitment to equipping builders with the tools they need to build better homes for their customers and as a result a better business. </p>
<p>A second advantage of choosing a Registered Builder is access to an established conciliation process. Should you have a complaint that you cannot resolve with your builder, the Home Builders Association of Louisville will provide two of its Registered Builder Committee members to act as conciliators. They will meet with you and the builder at your home and attempt to help the two of you to reach a mutually agreeable resolution of the problem. If the conciliators are unsuccessful, either the homeowner or the builder may elect at their expense, to arbitrate their dispute with an independent arbitration service mutually acceptable to them. This two-tiered process provides consumers with the opportunity to resolve the problem without the added expense of attorneys and legal fees where the issue often becomes clouded by legal jargon. </p>
<p>When you’re planning a new home, you’re planning the investment of a lifetime. As with any major investment, it makes sense to deal with a professional -- a Registered Builder member of the Home Builders Association of Louisville. For a list of Registered Builders, contact the Home Builders Association of Louisville at (502)429-6000 or e-mail Margie Brangers at <a href="mailto:margie@hbal.com">margie@hbal.com</a>. </p>

• Have Registered Builder or Registered Remodelor sponsors with personal knowledge of the applicants construction activity and business integrity<br />
• Must have acceptable credit history <br />
• Appear before a committee of Registered Builders for a personal interview <br />
• Must agree to take part in continuing education<br />
• Must agree to abide by the Code of Ethics of the Home Builders Association of Louisville <br />
• Must agree to a conciliation process and/or binding arbitration in the event of an unresolved complaint from a customer</p>
<p>All of these factors combine to provide you with an assurance that you are dealing with a professional who is dedicated to providing you with a quality home. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>What is the advantage of choosing a Registered Remodelor?</strong></p>
<p>Two of the most important factors that provide consumers with an advantage when choosing a Registered Remodelor are education and access to an established conciliation process.</p>
<p>The Home Builders Association of Louisville provides an education program that is unparalleled. It is designed for both Registered Builders and Registered Remodelors who want to enhance their knowledge of various aspects of the home building and remodeling industry. The program is divided into four major categories:<br />
<br />
1. Building Basics <br />
2. Business<br />
3. Total Quality Management<br />
4. Sales and Marketing</p>
<p>The 80-hour curriculum available gives Registered Remodelors an advantage when it comes to building a business that provides customers with the best possible product. The classes are taught by builders, remodelers and industry professionals who have a commitment to equipping remodelers with the tools they need to provide a quality product for their customers and as a result a better business. </p>
<p>A second advantage of choosing a Registered Remodelor is access to an established conciliation process. Should you have a complaint that you cannot resolve with your remodeler, the Home Builders Association of Louisville will provide two of its Registered Builder Committee members to act as conciliators. They will meet with you and the remodeler at your home and attempt to help the two of you to reach a mutually agreeable resolution of the problem. If the conciliators are unsuccessful, either the homeowner or the remodeler may elect at their expense, to arbitrate their dispute with an independent arbitration service mutually acceptable to them. This two-tiered process provides consumers with the opportunity to resolve the problem without the added expense of attorneys and legal fees where the issue often becomes clouded by legal jargon. </p>
<p>When you’re planning a remodeling project, you’re planning the investment of a lifetime. As with any major investment, it makes sense to deal with a professional -- a Registered Remodelor member of the Home Builders Association of Louisville.

<span style="COLOR: black">Home builders strive to be good neighbors to the people in the communities where they work and live. One of the most important ways that builders demon­strate their concern for the community and its residents is by constructing high quality, well-designed homes. Nothing says "I care" more than an excellent product that enhances the neighborhood and fulfills the unique needs of buyers in the local community. <br />
<br />
</span><span style="COLOR: black">Home builders at hundreds of state and local home builders associations through­out the country also show that they care about their community and its residents through a wide range of projects designed to help provide shelter for those in need. In particular, many associations have provided administrative assistance, skilled labor and materials on projects jointly sponsored with Habitat for Humanity.</span></div>
<div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 150%"><strong><span style="COLOR: black"><br />
</span></strong><span style="COLOR: black">Other home builder associations have participated in Rebuilding Together with Christmas in April projects where they did essential repairs and renovations for home owners who could not afford them. Builders have also constructed shelters for battered women and their children, constructed playgrounds and built wheelchair ramps at the homes of those with disabili­ties. Sometimes associations that sponsor a Parade of Homes charge admission fees and then donate the proceeds to charity. And several home builders associations in areas near national parks have begun working to improve the quality of housing for park employees.<br />
<br />
</span><span style="COLOR: black">Yet another way that individual builders show their concern for the area where they live and do business is by participating in local government, serving on planning and zoning boards and working with local government officials to ensure that infrastructure such as schools, roads, sidewalks and water and sewer plants is available to meet the needs of a dynamic, growing community. Many builders also take time out of their busy schedules to visit local schools and explain the home building process to students. And if you look at the member­ship rosters of religious organiza­tions, civic and cultural groups and children's sports clubs you're sure to find home builders on the list.<br />
<br />
</span><span style="COLOR: black">The list of things that builders do to help the community goes on and on, but the common thread running through all of these projects is that builders care. They care about their communities and their neighbors and show that concern in a multitude of ways.</span></div> Code of Ethicshttp://www.hbal.com/site/about-hbal/code-of-ethics.html2008-08-28T06:45:59Z
