The Best in American Living Awards (BALA) spotlight the most creative and innovative designers, builders, and remodelers in the nation. Every year, BALA winners redefine excellence for the residential building industry. The awards program is sponsored by the National Association of Home Builders.

We were awarded a Gold BALA in the Remodeled Kitchen up to $100,000 category for our Pemberton kitchen. This award caps off an incredible run for this project – having won at the local, state, regional and now national level!

Our outdoor living and poolscape project in Davenport Ranch picked up a Silver BALA for Specialty Remodel Project. This dramatic transformation from basic outdoor patio to complete al fresco dining, outdoor kitchen, fireplace and amazing poolscape is featured below:

RisherMartin Measures Up

What, you don’t have a 12′ tall, 700 lb. tape measure in front of your office? A landmark day for the RisherMartin team as we finalized our new office sign. If you’ve driven down Burnet Road recently, hopefully you’ve noticed us. If not, look up!

Big kudos to the team at LookThinkMake. They continue to dazzle us with creative ways to express our RisherMartin brand. Special thanks to Stanley Jones, who welded the sign in East Texas, personally delivered it and then helped us install it onsite. Tons of hard work and the results are amazing. Thanks Stanley.
