Local suppliers, vendors step up for GHBA Benefit Homes Project
Each year two to three homes are built for the Benefit Homes Project. The homes offer a variety of the most popular features and amenities on the market today. They are sold at market value and proceeds benefit Home Aid Houston and Operation Finally Home.
Dozens of companies have stepped up to ensure a Greater Houston Builders Association Benefit home is built at little cost by donating their materials, labor and services to its construction. History Maker Homes has recruited these companies and has completed its Alder plan in Sierra Vista, a
Land Tejas community. Proceeds from the sale of the home will be donated to two local charities — Home Aid Houston and Operation Finally Home. Since the project began, nearly $12 million has been raised.
Vendors donating include All Points Group, Home Pro 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, Data smart Home Technologies, RT Masonry, Delta Faucet, Moore Home Solutions, Rosenburg Plumbing, Progress Lighting, Reyes Tar Painting, Decor Hardware and Creative Landscape and Design.

“History Maker 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 this home with their contributions so that two local charities will be able to change the lives of those in need. We look forward to the upcoming Vendor Appreciation Luncheon where we can formally save thank you.”
The Alder plan is a 3,176-square-foot, twostory home featuring an open 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.
Family owned and operated since 1949, History Maker Homes launched in Dallas-Fort Worth and expanded over the decades to become a builder of more than 800 homes across the region in 16 developments.
“History Maker has entered the Houston market with 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 homebuyer and the two charities receiving the proceeds from the sale. We can’t thank them enough for their generosity.”
