2009 NAHB Award

On November 7th, 2009, in San Diego, California, the Custom Homebuilders Committee of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) named Payne & Payne Builders as its 2009 National Custom Home Builder of the Year. We have received the highest honor bestowed by the NAHB for custom home building. It is given yearly to one builder the committee thinks has excelled in customer satisfaction, quality, and consistent service, and who is actively involved in their community and industry.

We would like to recognize our entire family of employees, trade and supplier partners, and associates for representing our values, supporting our goals, and helping us consistently stand out and succeed. As a part of our team, you all deserve to share our pride in this accomplishment!
