A significant step in getting ready for a home renovation or remodeling project is picking a contractor. Many considerations go into the decision, including the contractor’s style, their quote for the project, the proposed timeline, and referrals from their prior clients. Something you may not have considered before was whether your contractor was a person of color. By working with a POC contractor, you’re able to make a vital difference within communities of color.

Use your home renovation to invest in your local community.

POC and minorities are under-represented in construction. These are skilled jobs with great potential for upward mobility, but white employees and business owners have dominated the industry. When you work with a POC contractor, you’re directly funding equitable job opportunities for minorities. Creating new opportunities within communities of color can be as simple as the home renovation team you pick.

Contractors who live and work in communities of color have years of experience working on everything from new home construction to additions and expansions; remodels and renovations.

They do work critically important for the revitalization of communities of color.

Communities of color may be disproportionately affected by corporate real estate developers and out-of-state property owners tearing down existing homes to build new high-occupancy structures. POC contractors working in communities of color focus their work on the repair and restoration of existing homes to return them to their former glory. They’re able to accomplish seamless additions and expansions into existing properties while staying authentic to the neighborhood’s aesthetic.

The focus of a POC contractor isn’t the erasure of the culture and community of the New York boroughs and Tri-State area, but to highlight the diversity of a block, neighborhood, or borough. They take pride in executing home renovation work true to the style of an individual home or neighborhood.
