2010 Best in American Living Award Winners!

The Best in American Living Awards (BALA) has been a competition recognizing design excellence in the building industry for over 25 years. At the BALA awards ceremony this year (during the NAHB International Builders' Show), 59 winners were honored for their innovation and creativity in 28 different categories, ranging from best custom and spec homes to best remodel and community designs.
