Home-Tech and Habitat for Humanity: 17 Homes & Counting

Home-Tech habitat for humanityRecently, Home-Tech got the opportunity to sponsor a Habitat for Humanity home for a local resident in need, so we grabbed our tools and hard hats and went to work. One of our philosophies here at Home-Tech, is that when you’re living and working in a community, it’s important to give back to that community. We’re proud to partner with a variety of local nonprofits to do our part in making Southwest Florida a better place to live. And while we take the responsibility seriously, we also enjoy the fun and the rewards that come with giving. The build took about three months and our Home-Tech crew dedicated two weekends of hands-on work – all from the heart.

Habitat for Humanity

Habitat for Humanity of Lee & Hendry follows the vision of  “a world where everyone has a decent place to live” – and that vision is made possible one home at a time – and that’s something Home-Tech is excited to be a part of. Our President and CEO Steve Marino and our CFO Sonya Sawyer were right in the thick of the action, “It was a great experience for me,” she said. “It really brought me out of my comfort zone – out of the office environment and into the hot sun, working with power tools.”

“Believe me,” she says with a smile, “I have a new appreciation for construction workers!”

This isn’t the first time Home-Tech has donated a house for Habitat for Humanity – in fact, this makes our 17th and counting. Says Sawyer, “Habitat is a fantastic charity because it provides home ownership to those who may not otherwise have the opportunity, due to unforeseen circumstances. We’ve really made a difference in the community and it’s a great feeling.”

Mind you, it’s not just Home-Tech, our volunteer work force, and the folks at Habitat for Humanity that help make the dream come true – it’s the future homeowner as well. Local single mom, Clendy Young, helped build her new house for herself and her one-year old son, located in Lehigh Acres, by doing “sweat equity” of at least 300 hours. Before Habitat and Home-Tech stepped in, Young and her son had been sharing a cramped residence with seven other folks. The new house will give the Young family space, freedom, and security.

Last month, Sawyer and Home-Tech President Steve Marino were thrilled to present Young with the house keys to her new home – and we’re already looking forward to the next home to build.

Happy home ownership, Clendy Young! Another fun and fulfilling mission accomplished by Home-Tech.

Employee Ownership

“The key difference is quite simple. Employees own the business,” says the CEO, Steve Marino. “I think it’s the perfect model for a service business in Southwest Florida. What we offer employees is a piece of their business. When someone is vested, when they own a stake in something, they are more likely to stay. What does this mean to our customers? Our employees really care that every experience you have, every service that is done is TOP NOTCH.”

When my fridge in my old house packed up, I called them immediately. Steve was pleasant and efficient. He offered me a years contract that would include the repair I had just called him out for. What a bargain! Great service and saved money too!
