MANASQUAN, NJ – HBA Rebates is proud to announce the official addition of Kichler Lighting as a new participating manufacturer in its Home Builders Association member benefit program, effective Q1 2026. This strategic partnership provides HBA builder and remodeler members with exclusive access to rebates on the total amount of Kichler purchases per residential address, further enhancing the value of HBA membership.
The partnership was spearheaded and executed by Doug Hazard, Senior Relationship Manager at HBA Rebates, and Zack Brown, Director of Builders Sales East for Coleto Brands. The inclusion of Kichler marks a significant milestone for HBA Rebates, as it joins its sister company, Progress Lighting, which has maintained a successful partnership with HBA Rebates for over 20 years. Both industry leaders now operate under the Coleto Brands umbrella, offering builders a comprehensive and streamlined lighting solution.
“We are thrilled to bring Kichler into the fold,” said Doug Hazard. “Our members have relied on Progress Lighting to reward their loyalty for the past two decades, and by adding Kichler, we are providing a ‘one-stop-shop’ experience under Coleto Brands. This allows our HBA builder and remodeler members to maintain high design standards across every residential project while maximizing their bottom line through our rebate structure.”
The collaboration between HBA Rebates and Coleto Brands underscores a shared commitment to supporting the trade professional. By integrating Kichler into the HBA Rebates program, builders and remodeler members now have a seamless pathway to access premium lighting solutions that satisfy diverse architectural styles while earning significant back-end savings. This expansion ensures that HBA members can specify high-quality, dependable products that help homes sell faster, backed by the administrative ease and reliability HBA Rebates has provided for over twenty years.
