Building industry professionals make<br />
up the membership of the San<br />
Bernardino <strong>Mountain</strong>s’ Association<br />
of Building Contractors (ABC). The members<br />
are dedicated to providing outstanding<br />
craftsmanship to mountain community<br />
residents.<br />
ABC members subscribe to a code of<br />
ethics. They pledge to uphold the highest<br />
standards of honesty, integrity and responsibility<br />
in their business dealings.<br />
ABC is a California nonprofit corporation. Its<br />
purpose is to promote goodwill and cooperation between its members,<br />
governmental agencies and the community. A board of directors whose<br />
members span the building trades governs ABC. The directors have many<br />
years of professional experience between them.<br />
Association members cover a wide range of trade specialties.<br />
ABC’s website has a contractor finder that mountain residents and<br />
visitors can use to locate quickly a building industry professional to<br />
meet their needs. Builders can also be found on ABC’s website by<br />
browsing through the entire list of available contractors.<br />
ABC members are committed to protecting the investment of<br />
each homeowner or business by delivering the highest quality<br />
<strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Arrowhead</strong> <strong>Almanac</strong> • <strong>2012</strong><br />
work and insuring clients against unforeseen problems.<br />
Unlicensed contractors cannot legally perform jobs costing<br />
more than $500. ABC recommends homeowners<br />
and businesses contact the California Contractors State<br />
License Board at www.cslb.ca.gov to verify a contractor’s license.<br />
ABC engages in a wide variety of activities. They include lobbying<br />
contractors’ views to county, state and federal governments and<br />
the San Bernardino County Department of Building and Safety.<br />
ABC also reports changes in county codes and regulations to its membership<br />
via its monthly newsletter and website.<br />
ABC promotes the use of licensed contractors, especially its<br />
members, through its annual directory, newsletter, website and<br />
print advertising. It also supports the California Contractors State<br />
License Board in its efforts to prosecute unlicensed contractors.<br />
The organization also encourages cooperation between members<br />
of the association with informative monthly dinner meetings<br />
and other social functions, as is its strong support for community<br />
organizations like Rebuilding Together, which stages its annual<br />
Christmas In April Rebuilding Day on the last Saturday of<br />
April each year.<br />
Because of ABC members' generous commitments of talent, skill<br />
and professionalism, Rebuilding Together can continue providing<br />
warmer, safer and more independent living conditions for deserving<br />
elderly and disabled homeowners in our mountain communities.<br />
For the past 16 years, ABC and the <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Arrowhead</strong> Communities<br />
Chamber of Commerce have staged the <strong>Mountain</strong> Home<br />
Improvement EXPO featuring remodeling, repair and rebuilding<br />
exhibits. The summer event is held at <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Arrowhead</strong> Village.<br />
