Suppliers, vendors step up for HistoryMaker Benefit home
Dozens of companies showed their generosity earlier this year as they joined the building team of HistoryMaker Homes and Land Tejas to construct a Benefit Homes Project home that will raise funds for two local charities.
The home was built in Sierra Vista, a Land Tejas community, and Land Tejas donated the lot. The charities that will receive the funds are HomeAid Houston and Operation Finally Home. Since the project began, nearly $12 million has been raised.
Vendors donating include All Points Group, HomePro Technology, All State Brick, A C Construction, DPIS Builder Services, Excell Foundations, Universal Forest Products, Windstorm Group, Mohawk, TWI, Country Wide Roofing, Santollo Construction Clean, Up LLC, Deep Blue Comfort, Carrier, Rock Materials, Builders Choice Inc., Royal Bath /Counter Source, Flooring Services of Texas, Advantage Gutters, Factory Builder Stores, Sherwin Williams Paint, Builders First Source, Perfection Supply, Jacobs Overhead Door, Fashion Glass and Mirror, Datasmart Home Technologies, RT Masonry, Delta Faucet, Moore Home Solutions, Rosenburg Plumbing, Progress Lighting, Reyes Tar Painting, Decor Hardware and Creative Landscape and Design.
Each year, two to three homes are built for the Benefit Homes Project that offer a variety of the most popular features and amenities on the market today. They are sold at market value and proceeds benefit HomeAid Houston and Operation Finally Home.
“HistoryMaker has an extensive base of vendors, suppliers and trades who are willing to give back to the community,” said Mickey Pizzitola, Houston division president. “We are honored to be able to build our Alder plan with their contributions so that two local charities will be able to change the lives of those in need.”
The Alder Plan is a 3,176-square-foot, twostory home featuring an open and spacious home design with five bedrooms and four baths.
This plan also showcases a downstairs master bedroom and game room upstairs, as well as a threecar garage, and is priced in the mid-$300,000s.
Family owned and operated since 1949, HistoryMaker Homes launched in Dallas-Fort Worth and expanded over the decades to become a premier builder of more than 800 homes across the region in 16 developments.
“HistoryMaker has entered the Houston market with a beautiful line-up of designs,” said Terry Swenson, PR director of the GHBA. “They were familiar with the Benefit Homes Project and were quick to commit to participate. Building their Alder plan in partnership with Land Tejas, a long-time supporter of the GHBA, is a win for both the future home buyer and the two charities receiving the proceeds from the sale. We can’t thank them enough for their generosity.”
