TBA Members Contribute
To Boys/Girls Club Project

The Tallahassee Builders Association came up big in the community service department last week when our members played lead roles in creating a new pavilion at the Greg McCray Boys & Girls Club on the south side of the city. Leading the way was TBA member David Thomas of Chief Cornerstone Construction who donated his time to build the pavilion, and TBA members Pro-Build, Lowe’s and A Materials Group (Jimmy Maples), who provided key building materials. Funding for the pavilion was also provided by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Home Builders Institute (HBI). The pavilion will be used for various outdoor activities and protect children from the elements. More than 200 boys and girls use the club each day. Executive Officer Paul Thompson represented TBA at the ground-breaking, which was covered by WCTV. 
 

In its promotion of “Home Remodeling Month” in June, the Tallahassee Builders Association highlights one of its members, Frank Skubel of Kitchen Tune-Up, which is a locally-owned, national franchise that offers minor kitchen remodels.  The company specializes in three services to update kitchens, including a wood reconditioning process, redooring, and refacing. Kitchen Tune-Up also offers cabinetry upgrades such as glass doors, tip-out trays and full-extension rollouts, as well as countertops.
