OAKLAND REMODELER NAMED REMODELER OF THE YEAR
Winans Construction of Oakland was recently named the Chrysalis Remodeler of the Year for the Western Region at the ninth annual Chrysalis Awards for Remodeling Excellence. The awards were presented June 7 during the Southern Building Show.
 
Each year one remodeler is selected by the judges as the Chrysalis Remodeler of the Year in their region. This year Winans Construction won California Remodeler of the Year before going on to win Western Remodeler of the Year over 9 other state winners.

"Trust was one of the strongest themes running throughout the nominations," says Kimberly Sweet, editor of Professional Remodeler magazine. "Employees wrote of their supervisor's respect for their judgment, believing in the president's vision, being proud of their employer's reputation among clients.

Criteria for Remodeler of the Year are based on:
  • The company's relationships with their customers.
  • Their contributions to professionalism in the remodeling industry.
  • Their contributions to the community.

In addition to Remodeler of the Year, Winans also won three project awards for Best Kitchen, Best Room Addition, and Best Exterior Face Lift. Judged by the staff of Southern Living magazine, Sunset magazine, and Homestyles.com, 18 remodeling companies from the Western U.S. were selected winners from over 75 entries covering all types of remodeling projects from 10 western states. The entries were judged on overall design, the creative use of space and materials, and the degree to which the project enhanced the original structure.

"The purpose of the awards is to identify remodeling companies who are the best at what they do," says Ken Kanline, director of the awards. "This is the third consecutive year in which Paul and Nina Winans have won a Chrysalis Award, which demonstrates their commitment to professionalism and excellence over time. It is extremely rare for a company to win this many awards over several years, but even more incredible to do it in one year."

A recipient of numerous local and national awards, Winans Construction is a 24-year old firm specializing in residential remodeling in the East Bay. Co-owners Paul and Nina Winans are both National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) Certified Remodelers. Paul has given many seminars to homeowners over the past several years and writes the From the Ground Up column on construction for Hills Publications.

The Chrysalis Awards program, begun in 1994, recognizes the nation's best remodeling work in over thirty categories in four regional competitions that encompass the entire U.S.
