Dreambuilder’s award-winning remodel profiled in Remodel Jacksonville magazine

Thursday, February 2nd, 2012

As we shared in our previous post, Dreambuilder entered the 2011 First Coast Remodelers Awards for the first time in December, and all three entries placed in their respective categories, with Dreambuilder Nine winning the “Bathroom Remodel Under $25,000″ category.  Remodel Jacksonville has profiled Dreambuilder’s win in its latest issue, which you can see here on page 14.  And be sure to check out our advertisement on page 13.

You can pick up your own free copy of the magazine (look for Florida HomebuyerRemodel Jacksonville is contained inside) in newstands throughout our area.

Dreambuilder joins Remodelers Council

Monday, January 30th, 2012

On the heals of its first remodeling awards, Dreambuilder Custom Homes has joined the Remodelers Council.  The Council sponsors the First Coast Remodelers Awards, at which Dreambuilder won three prizes.

“Remodeling or renovating an existing home has many things in common with new construction,” said Shawn Starr, Dreambuilder’s president.  “Yet, there are unique challenges in a renovation that one doesn’t encounter in new construction.  The Remodelers Council provides opportunities for education and support that directly impacts the remodeling project.  And, as only reputable companies are permitted to join, adds another credential for Dreambuilder.”

You can find out more about the Remodelers Council on its website.

As a homebuilder, Dreambuilder Custom Homes has made an effort to support charities that work to provide homes for those who don’t have one so that all can live the dream of homeownership.  Dreambuilder also supports organizations that work to reduce and eliminate homelessness in our area.
