The 2025 WNC STARS Awards, presented by the Builders Association of the Blue Ridge Mountains (BABRM), honored the region’s most exceptional builders, designers, trade professionals, and associates during the Annual Awards Gala on October 17 at A-B Tech.
Modeled after the North Carolina Home Builders Association’s statewide STARS Awards, the WNC STARS program honors excellence across every facet of the industry. This year’s winners showcase the breadth of talent in Western North Carolina, from high-performance homes and standout remodels to innovative marketing and community-driven projects.
“The caliber of work we see each year is truly remarkable,” said Megan Carroll, Executive Officer of BABRM. “Our members continue to raise the bar with projects that combine creativity, craftsmanship, and care for the communities they serve.”
Local winners advance to the 2026 NCHBA STARS Awards, where their work will represent our region on a statewide stage.
