Featured Homes
2008 Remodel of the Year Awards

(page 1 of 2)

While certain industries are struggling through this country’s current economic downturn, the remodeling business is doing quite well. Homeowners who once dreamed of selling their old homes woke to a new realization: If they can’t be with the one they love, why not love the one they’re with? Thus, homes across the metro are being revamped, whether it means a new bathroom or a complete redrawing of house plans. Unused space such as found in basements, attics and outside is being claimed for habitation, while dysfunctional rooms are being reworked. Shiny new products are arriving at homes everywhere, ready to improve lifestyles by not only looking pretty but working more efficiently. Remodelers and clients are working hand-in-hand to bring these dreams to reality, creating a better product that can be loved for a lifetime or sold for a solid sum a few years down the road. Whatever the intentions of the owners of the following award-winning homes, they shine as beacons of inspiration, leading the way in uncertain times.

One thing we’re not uncertain about is the quality of our judges, whose unbiased opinions shaped this competition’s results.
