The Chrysalis Awards for Remodeling Excellence began in 1993. The awards cover 30 categories of residential and commercial remodeling, and winners are selected for each of four geographical regions of the country. The regional winners are then judged to select a national winner for each category.
Continuing to set new standards of professionalism, 66 remodeling companies from across the United States were named winners at the 2025 Chrysalis Awards for Remodeling Excellence. 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.
“This was the first year they have entered the awards, and to take home top honors on the first attempt is impressive,” says Ken Kanline, Director of the Awards.
