News · Martinsburg, WVDustin Bowers, owner of Orion Exteriors in Martinsburg, WV, was named 2026 Builder Member of the Year by the Eastern Panhandle Home Builders Association (EPHBA). The award was presented at the association's Annual Awards Dinner.
What Is the EPHBA Builder Member of the Year?
The Eastern Panhandle Home Builders Association brings together the builders, contractors and local businesses who build and take care of homes across the Eastern Panhandle. Each year at its Annual Awards Dinner, the association honors members and volunteers from across the Eastern Panhandle.
This year's Builder Member of the Year is Dustin Bowers of Orion Exteriors.
Why Does This One Matter to Orion?
Because it comes from the people who know the work best. The EPHBA is builders, trades and business owners from all over the Eastern Panhandle. They see how a contractor runs a job, treats a homeowner and shows up for the community, and this year they picked Dustin.
Dustin and his wife, Kendra, own and run Orion together. They live here, raise their family here, and plan to be here a long time. Showing up for local groups like the EPHBA is part of that. See how Orion gives back
