About HSA

Homeowner Services of America (HSA) began in 1985 as a home repair business in Ann Arbor, Michigan. David Rhoads, HSA’s founder and owner, soon shifted the company’s focus to home remodeling. Superior results came quickly. In 1988, HSA was named one of America’s Top 50 Remodelors by the National Association of Homebuilders, and the company has been consistently recognized for excellence ever since.

Meet David Rhoads, Founder and Owner

David Rhoads was born in Springfield, Illinois in 1941. He lived for much of his youth in Texas before serving in the U.S. Army from 1959 to 1966.

In the late 1960s, David worked for Mallinckrodt Nuclear of St. Louis, Missouri. Then, for nearly two decades, he excelled in business management roles for Bechtel Corp. A Bechtel job transfer brought David from Maryland to the Ann Arbor area in 1972.

David’s extensive business experience helped him establish HSA in 1985. Since then, he has been a regional leader of the home remodeling industry. David served for over a decade as Director and Chair of the Washtenaw Remodelors Council and Director of the State Remodelors Council. For two of those years, he was also Director and Treasurer of the State Chapter of the National Kitchen and Bath Association.

In 2001, David became a Director of the Homebuilders Association (HBA) of Washtenaw County.  He has served as that organization's President and is currently a National Director.  David is also on the Board of the Homebuilders Foundation.

In 1997, David formed First Design Cabinetry, a companion business to HSA. Two years later, he moved both companies to their current headquarters in Saline, Michigan.

David has earned two national certifications:
CGR - Certified Graduate Remodelor
CAPS - Certified Aging in Place Specialist
Both certifications require training, testing and continuing education classes.

In recent years, David has been highly involved in the Saline community. He is a Director of the Saline Area Chamber of Commerce, a facilitator for Saline Leadership Institute, Treasurer of the Coalition for a Quality Community (CQC) and Pick Up the Pace Saline (PUPS).  He is on the Cares Discretionary Fund Board, the Business Development Association, the Saline Sustainability Circle and the Saline Area Historical Society.  David was elected to the Saline City Council in November 2006.
