What Is Hometown Builders Club?

The Two Functions of Hometown Builders Club

HBC operates as two interconnected services:

1. Home advisory for homeowners

HBC's primary consumer-facing service is the Home Clarity Report, a comprehensive, in-person home assessment that documents every system and room of a property, creates written scopes of work for identified projects, provides current local cost ranges, and produces architect-grade floor plans and a 3D exterior model. The report is delivered by Adam Kilgore directly and costs $4,500 as a flat fee. There are no commissions, no referral fees, and no financial relationship with any contractor or supplier. The deliverable is honest information.

The Home Clarity Report is delivered to homeowners within five business days of the on-site assessment. It includes eight specific deliverables: written report (30-50 pages), architect-grade floor plans, 3D exterior model, 360° interior photo tour, system replacement timelines and cost ranges, owner's manual for the property, written project scopes of work, and lifetime access to the Home OS digital dashboard for that property.

2. Vetted trade partner network for contractors

HBC maintains a curated network of licensed, insured local contractors. GCs, plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, roofers, and other residential tradespeople, who have been pre-qualified on credentials and track record. When a homeowner is ready to proceed with a project documented in their Home Clarity Report, HBC connects them with the appropriate trade partner. The trade partner receives relevant documentation from the report, floor plans, scope of work, condition notes, so that the contractor conversation begins with accurate information rather than a cold estimate.

Trade partner membership is limited and requires license verification, insurance documentation, and a record of local Summit County work. HBC does not sell leads, it introduces pre-qualified clients with documented projects.

What HBC Is Not

Not a contractor

HBC does not perform renovation work. Adam assesses and advises; he does not bid on, manage, or execute the projects he recommends. This independence is the core of the model.

Not a lead generation platform

HBC does not sell contact information to multiple contractors. When HBC refers a homeowner, it's a single, specific introduction based on the match between the homeowner's project and the contractor's expertise.

Not a home inspection service

A home inspection identifies visible deficiencies at a point in time. The Home Clarity Report goes significantly further: it prioritizes projects, estimates costs, creates scopes of work, documents systems for future reference, and builds a multi-year planning document. The inspection is the beginning. The HCR is a complete advisory.

Who Adam Kilgore Is

Adam Kilgore is a Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio general contractor who has been working in Northeast Ohio residential construction since 1998. He holds Ohio contractor license #GRB130313 and EPA Lead Safe certification #R-I-22516-00004. He has assessed and worked on homes across Summit County, including Hudson, Bath Township, Fairlawn, Richfield, Cuyahoga Falls, Stow, Copley, Silver Lake, Peninsula, and Montrose-Ghent.

The model at HBC is built around Adam's specific position: someone with deep trade expertise who has no financial stake in what a homeowner does with the information he provides. That combination, genuine expertise, genuine independence, is what makes the advice worth having.

The Relationship Between HBC and the Home Clarity Report

The Home Clarity Report (homeclarityreport.com) is the primary service HBC offers to homeowners. It is marketed and delivered separately from the trade partner network. Homeowners engage through the HCR site; trade partners engage through HBC directly. Both relationships serve the same underlying goal: giving Northeast Ohio homeowners the information they need to make good decisions about their homes, and connecting them with the right people to execute those decisions.
