Homes for Life/CAPS Design Award Deadline August 21

Aging-in-place design is something special, and the NAHB Remodelers Homes for Life award, sponsored by Best Bath, aims to recognize the best in creativity, problem solving and great design. The deadline to apply for this award is August 21.

This awards program, in its third year includes award categories for a Single Space remodel (kitchen, bathroom, sunroom, etc.) and Major Space remodel (whole house or multi-room). Winning projects recognize creative, attractive design that seamlessly integrates into a client's projects, bringing them a new opportunity to truly enjoy their home.

As sponsor of this award, Best Bath will participate in both the judging and presentation of the Homes for Life award. Best Bath Systems, Inc. of Boise, Id., pioneered the life-time shower concept and continues to be a leader in safe, accessible bathroom remodeling. "The Home for Life award ‘dovetails’ perfectly with our Lifetime Shower Systems program," said director of marketing Andy Hedden-Nicely. “We are dedicated to the CAPS program and safe bathing for consumers who desire to stay at home with remodeled showers and walk-in bathtubs." To learn more about these innovative bathing solutions, visit http://www.best-bath.com/.

The Homes for Life award will be presented on Oct. 29 at the NAHB Remodelers Gala at the Remodeling Show in Indianapolis, Ind. To further emphasize their support of NAHB Remodelers and the Homes for Life award representatives from Best Bath will be on hand to help present the award.
