Reaching for the STARS

The Remodelers Council of the Home Builders Association of Raleigh-Wake County held the 16th annual STAR Awards at the Renaissance Raleigh Hotel at North Hills on May 7. Nearly 40 projects representing the best remodeling work from attics to basements, inside and out, received awards. Two building companies — TrendMark Inc. and Complete Construction Co. — made the trip to the stage so often to collect their gold awards, you hoped they’d brought the truck to haul them home.

Tom Gipson: builder, philanthropist, community leader
 Tom Gipson builds luxury homes starting in the $900,000s; he builds other homes for free. The Raleigh custom home builder collects fine wine and antique cars that include Jaguars, Rolls Royces and a Porsche, but when he heard the family of a disabled child had no transportation, he and two colleagues bought them a car. He serves on the boards and councils of numerous charitable, civic and professional organizations, including the Home Builders Association of Raleigh-Wake County, Grace Lutheran Church and Habitat for Humanity of Wake County. But at the Lake Gaston house where Gipson and his wife Pat often entertain, the builder/philanthropist can be seen wearing a baseball cap with a fake ponytail that matches his silky white hair.

Home tour showcases the many shades of green
 You’d never know from looking at it that the house Bill Beasley remodeled at 3411 Dover Road in Durham is loaded with enough energy-saving, environmentally friendly features to qualify for Gold certification, the highest level set by the Green Home Builders of the Triangle. From the street, nary a solar panel is visible on its multi-angle roofline. The 1984 transitional home in the golf-course community of Hope Valley blends in well with its neighbors near the country club. Updated: May. 1, 2009 4:27 PM | Full story
Make the most of the market
 Remember the “flipping” concept? Pay a reduced price for a fixer-upper, make the repairs, and sell it for a tidy profit. As the saying goes, that ship has sailed. These days, buyers still demand the bargain price, but with all the trimmings. “Buyers are cash-sensitive and are not looking to invest a lot of money into fixing up the interior or exterior of the house these days,” says Linda Trevor, a Realtor with Re/Max United. “They would rather it be done before they move in the house, at the seller’s expense and time.” Updated: Apr. 17, 2009 10:09 AM | Full story
