We just got our 5^th Chrysalis award, and like Tom Hanks racking up Oscars, it never gets old because it feels wonderful!

The Chrysalis is a national design award that honors the talent, creativity and professionalism in the remodeling industry. There were over 500 entries this year which were distilled down to 105 winners in 17 project categories.

We won in the Sunroom/Conservatory category. Click to see more about the project.

It’s especially sweet to be recognized for this project because the clients – Mary Lee and Charles – were exceptionally great to work with, and have an interesting angle. They are regular listeners of The KMOX Home Improvement Show with Scott Mosby, and were particularly interested by one episode wherein Scott discussed the perfect remodeling timeline.

Experienced remodelers recognize the patterns that create projects that flow smoothly for both the company and the homeowner. Scott shared his hard-learned wisdom on the ideal remodeling scenario, and Mary Lee & Charles decided to take him up on it.

They began with us in the fall, hashing out design concepts, making materials and finish selections and approving final construction documents so building could begin in early winter. By planning during the fall and building during the winter, the sun room and patio was ready – as predicted – in time for the first spring BBQ.

They were also excited to let us know that when a neighbor’s house went up for sale, the realtor let them know that they raised the asking price because their sunroom was one of the views outside the kitchen windows of the house for sale. Meaning, their project truly did add immediate value to the neighborhood!

Our thanks to the Chrysalis judges for the award, and a hearty round of applause to Mary Lee, Charles and Mosby Project Manager Steve Wickers and his crew for a project perfectly realized.
