Benefits of Hiring a Professional Remodeler
Outweigh Doing it Yourself
M
ay is National Home
Remodelers Month, and while
we’re in the age of do-it-yourself
YouTube videos, home owners reap
many benefits when hiring a professional
remodeler for their home renovation.
According to Brad Storck, Greater Iowa
City Area HBA Remodelers Council chair,
experienced remodelers bring a multitude
of skills and qualities to successfully
execute a home remodeling project.
“Professionals just do home remodeling
better,” said Brad. “They not only bring
advanced construction skills, but trained
remodelers better manage customer
service and business management to
improve the remodeling experience for
home owners.”
What qualities do professional
remodelers provide to a home
renovation?
n Customer Service
Knowledgeable home remodelers
understand that they are providing a
service, not a one-size-fits-all product.
Just as every home owner is an
individual, each home is also unique.
A professional remodeler knows how
to create customized solutions for
the residents and provide continuing
customer support.
n Business Management and Integrity
Running a business well is part of
the responsibilities of a professional
remodeler. This includes having systems
for the business, writing clear contracts,
having insurance, providing warranties
and more. Better business management
means better service for home owners
because they can rely on the remodeler to
perform with integrity.
n Experience
Do you know what to expect when
you take that wall out? A professional
remodeler understands the structure of
a home and is prepared for surprises
behind walls. They’ve developed
expertise from performing home
remodels, attending trainings and are
familiar with laws and regulations
pertaining to home construction.
n Longevity
Anyone may be able to purchase a truck
and some tools, but only professional
remodelers have the skills to remain
in business for the long haul. By
understanding the practice and business
of home remodeling, these professionals
can manage changes in the market and
return to service your home for years to
come. Use the remodelers you can trust
to fix problems and keep a home in good
health long term.
n Creativity
Home remodeling frequently involves
problem solving, such as maximizing
existing space, strategically building
additions or navigating limited budgets.
Professional remodelers can help home
owners manage challenges and meet their
needs while staying within the budget.
Experience and skills help remodelers
propose choices and solutions to satisfy
their customers.
Bring home the benefits of hiring
a professional home remodeler for
your renovation. Harness their skills
and knowledge to create a more
comfortable home.

Message from the President
Dear HBA Members,
Spring sales are is in full swing and homes are starting
to fly off the market. The 30-year mortgage interest rates
are below 4 percent once again, and the local economy
continues to grow
adding new businesses,
restaurants, grocery
stores and entertainment
venues. Growing up in
Iowa City it was easy
to take for granted how
fortunate I was to live
in an area with such
great education, low
unemployment and
low crime. Even while
attending and graduating
from the University
of Iowa, my goal was always to move away to find
employment and achieve “success.” Today, with proper
perspective after all these years of living in the greater Iowa
City area, I am thankful for the multitude of opportunities
I have had. Now, it’s my turn to impress upon younger
generations what a terrific community we have in which to
live and work.
On the board, and in many of the member meetings, a
main topic of discussion is how to recruit new workers --
including ways to educate students about and encourage
students to enter the building trades. Hard work and long
hours are what people see, without fully understanding
how personally and professionally rewarding construction
work can be. I painted houses every summer during high
school and part of college with John A. Cress Painting.
At that time, most trim (and many wood windows) were
stained and finished on site after framing. That meant I was
able to watch the construction process from beginning to
end and see the various trades working together as a team
despite their different jobs. I saw everyone’s role, including
how the general contractor orchestrates the entire project.
Our Vocational Training Council, the Student-Built
House leaders and various Kirkwood programs are to be
commended for their efforts to educate and drive more
young people into the homebuilding trades. The recent
Build My Future event is a perfect example of this (see
pages 4-5). There is no better way to learn than hands on.
No matter how smart or talented you are, everyone can
learn from a mentor. Not only are we fortunate to live in
the area that we do, but our organization is fortunate to
have many members sharing their time and knowledge.
For that we say “Thank You!”
Sincerely,
Mike Bails

HBA-Linked Professionals Named
Women of Influence Winners
One Greater Iowa City Area HBA member and another close ally to our association
have been named two of 10 honorees for the 2019 Corridor Business Journal’s Women
of Influence awards during a dinner ceremony April 4 at the DoubleTree by Hilton
Cedar Rapids Convention Complex. The recognition identifies women who have
made a difference in the corridor and are representative role models as leaders in their
fields and community.
HBA-member Patrice Carroll is President and CEO for ImOn Communications. She
launched the company in 2007 and has grown it from 35 to 115 employees and more
than 17,500 customers. Patrice also serves on multiple boards and committees for
community organizations focused on her passion for the arts, education and local
economic development. Among them are the Theatre Cedar Rapids Board of Directors
and the Junior Achievement of Eastern Iowa Regional Executive Board.
“It is an incredible honor to be selected as a 2019 Woman of Influence. I would not
even have been noticed, let alone been selected for this honor if not for ImOn’s
success and the amazing people that played a role in that success. Their passion and
commitment to serving our customers and communities are what allow me – and
inspire me – to do the things I do.”
Tracey Achenbach is housing director for the East Central Iowa Council of
Governments and an HBA friend. She was instrumental in securing a grant for our
2018 Student-Built House initiative. As a community developer and housing planner,
Tracey has administered a variety of federal and state grants and worked with many
different communities in assisting them with the development of affordable housing
or writing housing plans.
“I do what I do, because I love it and not because I want to be recognized,” said Tracey.
“I am honored to have received this award with so many accomplished women.”

SAFETY FIRST
Members Have Fun, Learn Important
First Aid/CPR Skills at Training Class
Twenty-six Greater Iowa City Area HBA members had some laughs and got twoyear
certifications during our CPR/First Aid Training education class March 27.
PSC Distribution hosted members who learned how to treat everything from a
simple sprain to a serious emergency. They also mastered one- and two-rescuer
CPR techniques and how to use an automated external defibrillator. National Safety
Training Service provided and led the course.
“I signed up for the class because I believe everyone needs to have some knowledge
of both CPR and First Aid. Having a husband, two married children and five
grandchildren, I feel any training can only help if an emergency arises personally or
professionally,” said Patricia Litton, IT manager with PSC Distribution. “Thank you
HBA for providing such classes to members.”
Greiner Buildings Takes Home Four
National Frame Builders Awards
The Greater Iowa City Area HBA is proud of Greiner Buildings for earning two first
place and as many second place 2018 Building of the Year awards from the National
Frame Builders Association (NFBA) last March in Louisville, Ky. Their first-place
wins were for Remodeled/Retrofitted Building and Livestock Building. Second-place
accolades were for Residential Garage and Hobby Garage.

projects, our team strives to achieve design, craftsmanship and innovation, while
providing customers a wonderful building experience.”

Build My Future Gives Students Hands-on Constr
Steps were taken April 2 to shrink
the home-building industry’s skilled
workforce gap thanks to our inaugural
Build My Future-ACE Career Day &
Industry Showcase. The event, hosted by
the ACE Sector Board, was held at Jones
Hall on the Cedar Rapids Kirkwood
Community College campus. Sponsors
were Hills Bank, The Greater Iowa City
Area HBA’s Vocational Training Council,
The Greater Cedar Rapids HBA and
Kirkwood Community College.
A total of 153 7th- and 8th-grade students
from nine different junior highs or middle
schools in three Eastern Iowa counties
busily learned construction-trade skills
through 15 interactive, hands-on exhibits.
Volunteers from HBA-member companies
directed and inspired the kids. The fun
included hammering nails for roofing
carpentry, piecing together plumbing,
operating heavy equipment, building a
wall with brick and mortar, drywalling
and more. Students also heard about
architecture and engineering careers
during educational sessions and stepped
inside a tiny house.
“I liked that we got to do a bunch
of things in different areas,” said
Kennady Breitfelder, an 8th-grader from
Springville. Her classmate Emerson
Ripple’s favorite thing was the tiny
house. “It was interesting and reduces
space,” she said.
Learning about the construction trade in
this way shows students early in their
schooling an alternative path to a fouryear
college degree and lets them testdrive
different careers. “Informing kids
while they’re in junior high allows them
time to learn more about the field, find
what peaks their interests and explore
throughout high school how it can be a
viable choice for them,” said ACE Sector
Board member Tim Ruth of McCreedy-
Ruth Construction, whose company
taught kids how to build housing frames
at the event.
The Iowa City-Cedar Rapids area
Build My Future is one of four such
events being held across Iowa this
Spring. Others are through the Quad
Cities Home Builders and Remodelers
Association; HBA of Greater Des Moines
and HBA of Greater Siouxland. Materials
– including photos and video – from
the four showcases will be used to put
together a tool kit for HBAs nationwide
to implement similar events, thanks to
a grant from the National Association
of Home Builders National Housing
Endowment.

uction-Field Experience
City and County Officials – and Pie –
Highlight March Membership Meeting
Nearly 75 Greater Iowa City Area HBA members convened March 14 for our
monthly membership meeting at the Kirkwood Regional Center in Coralville.
The March meeting is always a chance to hear development updates from, and
strengthen relationships with, city and county administrators.
Following dinner and networking, members eagerly listened to presentations
from the following officials, who graciously took time out of their busy
schedules: City of Coralville Building and Zoning representative Jim Kessler;
City of Iowa City Senior Building Inspector Tim Hennes; City of North Liberty
Building Department’s Tom Palmer; and City of Tiffin Building and Zoning
leader Brian Shay. Impressively, nearly all projects included during the evening
featured our members as a prime or subcontractor.

Thank You To Our Sponsors!
Culligan Water/Vetters Inc. generously donated the raffle prize, valued at $125 and
won by Brad Storck of Bachmeier Carpet One. Brad now is getting three months of
free bottled water delivered and received an assortment of other goodies, such as
coffee mugs. The 50/50 Raffle individual winner was Chad Keune of Advantage
Custom Builders who snagged $60 and promptly donated it to the Women’s
Scholarship Fund for students entering the building trades. The winning company
wasn’t present so $60 went back into the pot to start the next membership meeting.
And for dessert? Pie, of course, in honor of National Pi Day!

Volunteers on Tipton Habitat House
Construction hats off to Sueppel’s Siding & Remodeling for volunteering at the Iowa
Valley Habitat For Humanity’s Tipton Build home March 15. Three employees were
on hand to set up around the house; set starter, corner posts, channel entry doors,
roofline and back gable; and run the first row around the house. The company also
donated the starter siding work. “Habitat is a worthy cause and we enjoy being able
to help out when we can,” said GT Karr, Sueppel’s Siding & Remodeling general
manager. “It’s a good way to be involved in the community and help support it.”
The house is for a mother-daughter duo named Betty and Emma.

M&R Construction is
Now Mills Custom Homes
On April 1, Lone Tree-based M&R Construction became Mills Custom Homes after 19
years in business. “We wanted a name and brand that better
represents our focus on custom homes and unique design
services,” said Designer Lindsey Mills, who in 2018 joined
husband Ryan Mills – the owner and general contractor for
Mills Custom Homes – to focus on design-service offerings.
The company’s specialties center around providing 3D
renderings to clients so they can see selections and “walk
through” their home before breaking ground. Mills Custom
Homes, which services the greater Iowa City area, is sponsoring the awards for our
Parade of Homes this year and will have a new home on the parade.
Ryan and Lindsey Mills own Mills Custom Homes, formerly known as M&R Construction.

IVHFH Women Build Breaks Ground as Women’s Council Provides Walls Support
Members of The Greater Iowa City
Area HBA Women’s Council built
relationships while building walls
at their April 4 social. The event was
timed with the ground breaking of
the 2019 Iowa Valley Habitat for
Humanity (IVHFH) Doris Preucil
Women Build house. Our Women’s
Council participated in the ground
breaking, spent the morning putting
together wall frames for the home
and finished with lunch. Thanks to
all who participated!
A cloudy day didn’t outshine the excitement felt as Nasr, Rasha and their boys
Obada, Awab and Yassin – the family who will own the 2019 IVHFH Women Build
house – joined Doris Preucil in shoveling to launch the home’s construction at 2629
Blazing Star Drive in Iowa City.
