Benefits and Services

Membership in the NAHB Remodelors Council is doubly beneficial because it entitles you to the benefits provided by both the Salt Lake Home Builders Association and the National Association of Home Builders. The NAHB Remodelors Council is committed to improved management and technical competency of council members, excellence in service to the consumer, and effective government representation of remodelers’ interests at the federal, state, and local levels.

Working in partnership with these two respected organizations, you will have the tools you need to build your remodeling business, including:

Local Initiatives
