Sisters builders earn honors in tour

Two Sisters builders won awards in the Central Oregon Builders Association (COBA) 21st Annual 2009 Tour of Homes.

"Winning an award can have a significant impact on the ability to sell a home, or a similar model, or a feature in an award-winning home" said Mike Jensen, COBA director of communication. "Additionally, winning an award helps tremendously with a home's future resale value. We're especially impressed and pleased with this years Tour of Homes entries, given the current economic situation. Our builders, sub-contractors and suppliers have done a great job."

The Green Building Award for a home over $1,000,000 went to Central Oregon Timber Frame Homes.

Laredo Construction won several awards, including best kitchen in a home $1,250,000 to $1,500,000, a best landscaping award, best value and best pond.
