Why Use a Member of the MCHBA?

Many times it is tempting simply to go with the lowest bidder. However, when your purchase involves the quality of life you will live, or the largest investment you will ever make, the low bid may be a big mistake—the kind of mistake you will have many years to live to regret.

You may (or may not) get the lowest bid from an MCHBA member, but your reasons to use a particular contractor or vendor should go much beyond the dollar figure.
