We Are Your Home Building & Remodeling Resource!

Why Call Us First?

We always check that our members have up-to-date insurance and licenses (if applicable). Our members are also required to sign a Code of Ethics and follow them.

 

Our Members receive access to:

  • Industry and consumer trends
  • New building technology
  • Innovative financing plans
  • Changes in state and local building codes and ordinances
  • Ongoing education that keeps them professional
  • Environmental regulations

We want to ensure they have the ability to keep up with the industry changes. A company that plans to line up jobs, take the money and disappear will not take the time to join a builders association.

Look For This Sticker

You can feel comfortable and sure of the professionals you hire knowing that we verify that our member contractors, electricians and plumbers have the required license to practice in Wisconsin.

The La Crosse Area Builders Association (LABA) always holds the right to expel members who violate our bylaws and code of ethics. LABA also makes sure the prospective member is a legitimate company using multiple resources available to us and the public.
