Texas Custom Builder of the Year 3 Times!
Sterling Custom Homes has been honored with over 140 Local, State and National awards throughout the years, and still counting.
In 2008, we were recognized by the Texas Association of Builders as the Texas Custom Builder of the Year, an honor we received from TAB in 2004 and from the Texas Association of Realtors in 1992, as well. In fact, Sterling Custom Homes is the only builder to have been named Custom Builder of the Year three times. This singular accomplishment is the crowning achievement in a strong history of awards for industry-leading design and quality.
In addition to being recognized as the Texas Custom Builder of the Year, Sterling also won 5 other awards at this event: Best Architectural Design for a Home over $1 Million; Best Overall Interior Design for a Home over $1 Million; Best Master Bedroom for a Home over $1 Million; Best Outdoor Project and Best New Home over $1 Million. Every year the Texas Association of Builders recognizes the best in the residential construction industry with the STAR Awards. Entrants from Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and New Mexico were eligible to enter the awards program. This size competition makes Sterling’s win as the Texas Custom Builder of the Year and the other awards received even more impressive!
Spend a few minutes with us and see for yourself why we have been recognized as Texas Custom Builder of the Year an unprecedented three times!
