WRHBA RenoMark: 16 verified renovators, mandatory for any WRHBA renovator-category member (verified 2026-05-24)

Claim: As of 2026-05-24, the WRHBA directory at wrhba.com/pages/renomark lists 16 RenoMark-verified renovators in Waterloo Region. WRHBA explicitly states that RenoMark is mandatory for any WRHBA renovator-category member — it is not opt-in at the local level.

Source: wrhba.com/pages/renomark; wrhba.com (member application page).

Confidence: Verified.

Named members in the WRHBA directory

Includes (not exhaustive): Pioneer Craftsmen, Menno S. Martin, MKA Building Group, Slotegraaf Construction, Hunke Construction.

Why this matters for Candid use

• For KW-region renovator clients, the local-HBA layer is WRHBA, not BILD or GOHBA. Footer logos should lead with WRHBA + RenoMark, not generic CHBA branding.
• WRHBA's mandatory RenoMark policy for renovator-category members is a useful copy point — it lets a WRHBA renovator describe RenoMark as part of "the standard our local industry holds itself to" rather than as an optional badge.
• The WRHBA directory sometimes lags the national directory. Cross-check both. Use the renomark.ca search as authoritative.

The Schnarr Craftsmen anomaly

Schnarr Craftsmen (now Schnarr Legacy Craftsmen under new ownership) is a historically prominent Waterloo RenoMark renovator whose website still references the program with a 5-year workmanship warranty that exceeds the RenoMark 2-year minimum. As of 2026-05-24, the company is no longer listed on the WRHBA RenoMark directory. Suggests the new annual verification system is screening some firms out — but CHBA has not commented publicly.
