Local Home Improvement Company Wins Two 2009 “Contractor of the Year” Awards

The Greater Phoenix Chapter of National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) awarded Republic West Remodeling, a Scottsdale-based company, 2009 Contractor of the Year Awards for two of their projects. The awards are given to National Association of Remodeling Industry (NARI) members who demonstrate outstanding work in their remodeling projects. An impartial panel comprised of architects and designers judged the Contractor of the Year (CotY) entries based on functionality, problem solving, aesthetics, craftsmanship, innovation, degree of difficulty and entry presentation. George Brunell, Greater Phoenix Metro Chapter 2009 CotY chair said, “The presentations were absolutely remarkable.The entrants this year certainly took it up several levels.”

The categories in which Republic West Remodeling won awards were Kitchens $60K to $100K and Additions $110K to $250K. One Republic West Remodeling winner was a kitchen remodeling project in the Willo Historic District near downtown Phoenix. Combining architectural traits of the period with a clean, modern look, the contractor transformed a small, back-of-the-house room to an open, entertaining space with up-to-date efficiency. The other winning project incorporated a covered patio into a smaller kitchen, resulting in a stunning and spacious entertaining area featuring an amazing view previously obstructed by the covered patio. Jim Weisman, President of Republic West Remodeling stated, “We are thrilled for our employees that Republic West Remodeling was given these awards. Obviously we wouldn’t have succeeded to this level without their desire for excellence and attention to details.”

This is a repeat performance for Republic West Remodeling, who was honored with two awards in 2008 and now two in 2009. In addition to the NARI CotY Awards, Republic West Remodeling has been recognized with three Better Business Bureau Business Ethics Awards and other industry accolades including Angie’s List Super Service Awards for 2007 & 2008. The Angie’s List Super Service Award is given to companies who achieve and maintain a superior rating with Angie’s List, a membership organization that consists of unbiased reports and reviews given by area homeowners about service companies.
