LEE BUILDING INDUSTRY ASSN BUILDERS CARE INC

Founded in 2005, as the charitable arm to the Lee Building Industry Association, Builders Care exists to improve the quality of life for deserving Lee County residents. Recipients are elderly and/or disabled individuals of all ages who are in financial need and are living with housing conditions that pose a safety or health threat.

Builders Care projects range from handicap accessibility, roof repairs and replacements, building wheelchair ramps, HVAC repairs and replacements, electrical and plumbing repairs and extensive repairs due to unsafe conditions. Builders Care offers this full range of home repair and renovation services by enlisting the expertise and generous support of contractors, sub-contractors and businesses.

To date, Builders Care has proudly completed more than 500 projects and put more than $5 million in construction services back into the community at no cost to homeowners in need.

Builders Care’s projects are possible thanks to the donated services and expertise of Lee BIA members and community volunteers. Our program gives local builders and community members a way to work together on worthwhile service projects while providing critical housing repairs for our most deserving neighbors.

Recipients are referred to Builders Care by local social service agencies, churches, hospitals, and family and friends. Builders Care staff and governing board members carefully evaluate each case to determine eligibility.
