McHugh delivers message to build Stebnitz brand

Listen to this article

Tracy McHugh is often the first and last person a client speaks to.

As sales and brand manager at Stebnitz Builders, McHugh meets with clients to understand how the remodeling firm can help them achieve their goals for a project. Once a project wraps up, McHugh visits the jobsite to take photos and deliver a parting gift to the clients.

“I enjoy watching their journey through the process,” she said.

McHugh’s journey with the remodeling firm began in 2017. She had known the company owner, Chris Stebnitz, for several years through their work on the board of directors at the United Way of Walworth County.

The two became better acquainted on the board, and Stebnitz eventually told McHugh he was looking to recruit someone with marketing experience.

During her time at the firm, McHugh has adapted quickly to the construction industry. Starting as the brand manager, her role was later extended to sales and brand manager.

Outside the office, McHugh has worked with the Elkhorn Area High School and Delavan Darien High School’s youth apprenticeship programs. She’s also served on the Youth Build committee, which helps connect young adults and teenagers with work in the trades — lately by building a home in Whitewater with Habitat for Humanity.

McHugh said it has been rewarding to help guide young people into a career in construction.

“I’m proud to be part of the leadership team at Stebnitz Builders,” McHugh said. “The industry and company continues to flourish, so there are lots of opportunities.”
