At the Best in American Living Awards members Semper Fi Custom Remodeling won a Silver Award for REMODELING KITCHEN, UP TO $75,000 – shout out to members Home Source Design Center who were the interior designers on that project. While ID.ology Interiors & Design won the Platinum Award for INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN, OWNER SUITE, CUSTOM. Semper Fi Custom Remodeling also won a NAHB Remodeler Award for HOME KITCHEN REMODEL, UP TO $100,000 at the builders show as well. Congratulations to these amazing building professionals for really highlighting our areas’ building industry.

“IBS is always a great chance to see many new and familiar faces, new products, and attend meaningful education classes. It was exciting to feel the energy from the biggest show in years and to see our members on the show floor. It is an amazing opportunity to refresh your point of view and form new connections in business. I had a great time and encourage those that have never attended to take a moment and check out the highlights from this year’s show while making plans to attend next year.”

Megan Carroll, Executive Director of the Asheville Home Builders Association.

With the NC Home Builders Association, our members were invited to attend their welcome festivities at Señor Frogs. Folks could interact with the many active members we have on the state level including Brandon, and former President Thomas McClain of Home Sweet Home Builders who is in line for NCHBA Presidency as well.
