We're excited to help direct you to and through the smoothest path possible toward that home you've always wanted…or with the latest Green Energy Technologies available as an 'upgrade' for the home you have now!
Let's get started: We represent dedicated and responsive member companies from Wilkes and Yadkin Counties, and regionally. From this web site, you may search specific categories of professional HBA member businesses. Our Builders and Trade Associates look forward to speaking with you right away.
3rd Annual Yard Sale: The Wilkes – Yadkin Home Builders Association's 3rd annual Yard Sale to benefit Samaritan Kitchen has raised another $2400.00 for the group's food distribution efforts. The event was held again at Sedgewick Homes near Hamptonille on May 18th. The money was presented to Samaritan Kitchen director Julie Smith at an HBA Board of Directors meeting. "We're always so grateful to be able to pull off this kind of success" said Arlo Barzee, the local Wilkes – Yadkin HBA president. "We've now been able to contribute in excess of $7,500 cash over these three yard sales, and we thank all who volunteered, donated, and contributed in lots of ways".
Many companies and individuals came together again in 2012 at the model home displays of Sedgewick Homes near Hamptonville to make it all work. Also, we sold $5 raffle tickets (5 for $20) for three outstanding prizes. 1) Master Forge stainless steel grill (value $380), 2) 30-bottle Frigidaire Wine Cooler (value $280), 3) stainless steel Delta tall kitchen faucet (value $260). Special thanks too…to member companies A & J Rental and Davhenco, Inc. Committee members pictured include (l-r) Dave Tucker and Arlo Barzee/Sedgewick Homes, 2012 Wilkes-Yadkin HBA president Ronald Huffman, Jerry Smithey/Jones Windows & Doors, Rick Whitley/Rick's Electrical Service, with Julie Smith, Director of Samaritan Kitchen of Wilkes. Other committee members include Eric Huffman/Huffman Bros Construction, Mike Cooper/Jones Windows & Doors, Anthony Sebastian/G & B Energy, and Bobby Nichols/Best Image Signs. The Wilkes – Yadkin Home Builders Association has awarded $500.00 to two area young men advancing their career choices in the building and construction industry. The grant comes from the HBA's Joe Faw Scholarship Fund, and is based, in part, on interviews, recommendations, attitude, intent, and financial need. One selection is Alexis Morales from Starmount High School. Alexis is the son of Jose and Maria Morales of Boonville. "Alexis is quite capable and has earned 'honors' in engineering drafting", said Kim Spillman, Alexis' instructor at Starmount. "He'll do well", according to Spillman. The other recipient is Nathan Bryan, who will enter his second year this fall at Wilkes Community College. Nathan, an East Wilkes High School graduate, is the son of Randy and Mikki Bryan of Riddle Road, outside North Wilkesboro. Nathan hopes to take his WCC degree to obtain a Bachelor's Degree in Construction Management at Appalachian State University, become a General Contractor, and start his own firm. "Nathan is also part of a team competing in June in the National SkillsUSA competition in Kansas City" according to Dwight Hartzog, the WCC instructor.
