CERTIFIED DESIGNER AWARDS and HONORS:

Awards are always shared with homeowners and contractors. Recently, in a “down” economy, two award-winning bathrooms helped to sell a former clients’ home quicker, for a higher price, because the listing agent prominently displayed information about the bathrooms, and pictures of the awards.
