2010 Excellence Awards Winners

Nearly 200 home building professionals gathered June 8 for the Home Builders Association of Metropolitan Portland’s sixth annual Excellence Awards Banquet, which recognizes the outstanding work of local companies across a variety of marketing, green building, remodeling, and residential building categories.

This year, the association presented 28 awards to 21 different companies. Winners were selected by a panel of industry professionals who rated each project based on its aesthetics, general design, budgetary considerations, and challenges and obstacles faced.

“The annual Excellence Awards competition is a testament to the undying spirit of the remodeling and building industry in our community,” said HBA President Karl Finkelnburg. “Despite very difficult economic conditions, these professionals continue to pour their hearts and souls into their work and to produce the highest-caliber projects. All things considered, it is a great time to purchase a new home or revamp an existing home. I applaud the individuals who lead our association and industry through their efforts and commitment to excellence.”
