Categories: Announcements, Awards Design
RALEIGH, N.C. (April 28, 2014) – Rufty Homes has been awarded “Best Of Houzz” by Houzz.com, the leading platform for home remodeling and design. Rufty has been building and remodeling fine custom homes since 1988 and was chosen by the more than 16 million monthly users that comprise the Houzz community.
The Best Of Houzz award is given in two categories: Customer Satisfaction and Design. Customer Satisfaction honors are determined by a variety of service-related factors, including the number and quality of client reviews a pro
fessional received in 2013. Design award winners’ work was the most popular among the more than 16 million monthly users on Houzz who saved more than 230 million professional images of home interiors and exteriors to their personal ideabooks via the Houzz site, iPad/iPhoneapp and Androidapp.
Winners are recognized with a “Best Of Houzz 2014” badge on their profile to help homeowners identify the most popular and top-rated home professionals in every metro area on Houzz. Rufty Homes was awarded both “Best of Design 2014” and “Best of Service 2014” designations this year.
“A home can often reflect the character of the family that occupies it, and we’re blessed to build for families who love to share their home’s personality,” said Jon Rufty of Rufty Homes. “Houzz has become the Internet destination to showcase home designs and interiors. To be named a favorite means we have a great staff and wonderful families who appreciate our unique approach to homebuilding.”
“Houzz provides homeowners with the most comprehensive view of home building, remodeling and design professionals, empowering them to find and hire the right professional to execute their vision,” said Liza Hausman, vice president of community for Houzz. “We’re delighted to recognize Rufty Homes among our “Best Of” professionals for both Design as well as Service, as judged by our community of homeowners and design enthusiasts who are actively remodeling and decorating their homes.”
