“Traffic has been terrific (along with the weather),” said Barry Potoker, executive director of the Saratoga Builders Association, “And there is still time for people to get out and see them as this is the last weekend to tour these new and exceptional homes.”
Twelve builders from the area submitted a total of 13 homes for the annual fundraiser that benefits two local charities—Rebuilding Together Saratoga County and Habitat for Humanity.
“This year we have a wonderful line-up of homes,” continued Potoker. “Each year we have different types of homes with unique nuances to each of them. They are also conveniently located in terms to getting around, another great feature.”
Potoker said he hopes the proceeds from this year’s Showcase will surpass the $63,000 raised last year.
“This is our 19th year and we have raised over $825,000 for our local non-profits from this event,” continued Potoker.
To be one of the showcase homes, the builders must be a member of Saratoga Builders Association and want to feature a home located in Saratoga County. The builder team ups with an interior designer (and other suppliers) to showcase the home in the best possible way!
The showcase tour gives people the opportunity to see the newest trends in not only home design and interior decorating but in landscaping, furniture, bathroom, kitchens, and technology.
The event has over 70 sponsors associated with it and the builders participating this year are: Bella Home Builders, Belmonte Builders, Bonacio Construction, Classic Homes, Heritage Custom Builders, Malta Development, Polito Homes, Richbell Capital, Saratoga Builders, Traditional Builders, VanVeghten Construction, and Witt Construction.
