Three Remodelors™ Council Members Receive Council Honors

During the Chairman’s Dinner at the International Builders Show in Las Vegas last month, MM (Mike) Weiss, 2003 Remodelors™ Council chairman, honored three council members for their ongoing service to the council and industry.

The remodelers honored included:

Robert Bell, CGR, CAPS, of Bell’s Remodeling in Duluth, MN, who received the Remodelors™ Council Distinguished Service Award, for lifetime achievement. Bell, an educator by degree and a remodeler by choice, spent his entire career promoting the importance of education to the industry.

“Bob is the champion of the smaller contracting company, and everyone who is in a small town or a small market probably owes him a debt. He has served for many years as the watchdog to make sure the ethics of the

industry are upheld,” said Weiss. “As the winner of almost every leadership and quality award Minnesota and NAHB have to offer, he will no doubt spend the rest of his career continuing to look out ‘for the little guy.’ Robert Bell is one of the biggest ‘little guys’ in the industry.”

Brothers Robert Hanbury, CGR, and Alan Hanbury, CGR, CAPS, of the House of Hanbury Builders in Newington, CT, received the Chairman’s Award for their outstanding contribution to the industry. The Hanbury brothers have held or currently hold leadership positions within their local Remodelors™ Council, the Home Builders Association of Hartford County and NAHB. Both have chaired the NAHB Remodelors™ Council and played a role in the creation of the first NAHB Remodeler 20 Club.

Robert Hanbury has served on the NAHB Budget and Construction, Codes and Standards Committees. He also worked on lead regulations and the proposed Lead Safe Work Practices. He is currently the NAHB State Representative for Connecticut.

Alan Hanbury served on the NAHB Education Central Task Force that led to The NAHB University of Housing and chaired the NAHB Board of Education. He currently serves on the CAPS Board of Governors.

“In addition to all their volunteer achievements, they run a top notch, third-generation remodeling company,” said Weiss.
