The Saratoga Builders Association presented proceeds totaling $48,000 from its annual Saratoga Showcase of Homes to the local nonprofit groups Rebuilding Together Saratoga County and Habitat for Humanity of Northern Saratoga, Warren and Washington Counties.
The Saratoga Builders Association has been able to contribute nearly $1.5 million to local charities from the event.
The 2022 edition of the Saratoga Showcase of Homes had only five homes on the tour due to labor and material shortages in the industry, officials said. Belmonte Builders, DSG Construction & Remodeling, Kodiak Construction, Trojanski Builders and Witt Construction participated.
This annual community event is made possible only with the generous support of over 75 corporate and media sponsors.
This year’s awards were announced at the a presentation and celebration event held on Oct. 19.
Awards were given in the basic categories, Executive Home Awards, People’s Choice Award and Realtor’s Choice Award .
In addition, this year featured a “Women in Trades” shed build on the first Saturday of the event, where 9th and 10th grade female student teams from six area high schools built six 4×8-foot lean-to sheds. The schools were Corinth, Greenwich, Northville, Mechanicville, Schuylerville and Stillwater. The sheds were sponsored by CTE/BOCES, Curtis Lumber, DA Collins Companies, Hoosick Valley Contractors, LeChase, Teakwood Builders, United Brotherhood of Carpenters, Whitbeck Construction and Witt Construction. The sheds were auctioned off raising money for charity.
