The Builders and Remodelers Association of Greater Boston (BRAGB) affiliated with the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) recently awarded BLB Custom Building with two prestigious PRISM Awards at their annual Gala held at the Boston Marriott Long Wharf on October 24th. The 75th annual PRISM Awards aim to “recognize the finest projects and superior achievements of builders, remodelers and other professionals in the home building industry.”

We were awarded a Silver PRISM for our “Farmhouse Kitchen Remodel” in the highly competitive Best Kitchen Remodel category. You may have recognized our Farmhouse Kitchen Remodel from the 2018 Newburyport Kitchens Tour which aims to recognize the outstanding craftsmanship of local contractors and industry professionals alike. This industry recognition comes on the heels of our recent 2019 BONS Award, by Northshore Magazine.

Our Director of Marketing, Tom O’Brien, was also awarded last night with the Gold PRISM for Rising Star of the Year as a result for his accomplishments and performance within the industry. Voted on by a national panel of distinguished industry professionals assembled specifically for the purpose of evaluating this competition, this award seeks to recognize up and coming young professionals who have won acclaim for their roles in the past year.
