Greater Houston Builders Association (GHBA)

Greater Houston Builders Association (GHBA) The GHBA's mission is to provide advocacy, education, and meaningful services to benefit its members and the housing industry.

The Greater Houston Builders Association proudly represents all aspects of the residential building industry in the greater Houston area. GHBA is a trade organization whose members are involved in the development, homebuilding, and remodeling industry in 11 counties—Harris, Montgomery, Fort Bend, Brazoria, Waller, Liberty, Wharton, Galveston, Matagorda, and now Austin and Colorado counties. Our mission is to be the voice of Houston’s residential construction industry, serving our members and the community by education and advocating professionalism and quality housing. The association interacts with the government, community and general public to enhance the business climate for its members, and to provide quality obtainable housing to the community it serves. The association is also active in community outreach and charitable events. In 2015, the 28,000 homes built in the Houston Metro area generated over $4.6 Billion into the local economy and created 84,000 jobs. Houston's residential housing market continues to be one of the most affordable and stable in the nation. Buying a new home in the Houston area is one of the smartest investments you will ever make for yourself and the local economy.

🏠 Mixing cabinet finishes can give a kitchen more depth, warmth and personality, but the key is making sure it all works together.

In this Houston Chronicle feature, GHBA Remodelers Council member Maria Frank of Cabinets & Designs, Inc. shares how homeowners can thoughtfully mix painted and stained cabinetry without making a space feel busy or disconnected.

From using a contrasting island as a focal point to pairing painted upper cabinets with warmer wood tones below, Maria explains how varying finishes, textures and materials can add visual interest while still creating a cohesive look. The goal isn’t contrast for contrast’s sake, but a balanced design that feels intentional, personal and timeless.

👏 Thank you to Maria for sharing her expertise and representing the GHBA Remodelers Council in the Houston Chronicle!
