the annual NAHB Remodelers gala inBaltimore on September 11.
"We received many exquisite remodels for these two categories of the Homes

Ben Morey, CGR, CAPS, CGP of Morey Construction inSignal Hill, California
won the Major Space category of the Homes for Life award for remodeling a
master bedroom and bath for a couple. Accessibility for the wheelchair-using
husband was enhanced by expanding the space, installing low cabinets, and
designing a deep walk-in closet. Additionally, the bathroom was improved with
roll under sink, roll-in shower with handheld shower heads, and angled mirror.
Luxury details, such as a towel warmer next to the shower and sophisticated
design details provided elegance to the new remodeled rooms.
Through the recent construction industry downturn climate, Morey
Construction has maintained a significant work flow. "It is only through a
27-year proven reputation of reliability as well as having a distinct
advantage of housing both an award-winning design and construction team, have
we been allowed to maintain and book consistent work," states Morey. Morey's
experience in the industry is extended through his certification in Certified
Aging in Place (CAPS) as well as recent Certified Green Professional (CGP)
through The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) University of
Housing. Morey obtained his Certified Graduate Remodeler (CGR) from the NAHB
in 2005.

Woods Remodeling Magazine, being named as a Big50 company by the renowned
publication. Most recently, Morey Construction was awarded the 2008 Guild
Master award from "Guild Quality", a third party evaluation company for the

All graduate programs offered by the NAHB require maintenance of the
designation through a prescribed continuing education crediting program.
