The less-than-banner year for the housing industry didn’t stop the state’s most accomplished home improvement experts from getting together and celebrating their finest work. The Colorado Awards for Remodeling Excellence are hosted each fall by the Remodelers/50+ Housing Council (hbadenver.com). The members compete in various categories and are judged by a panel of impartial experts that are affiliated with the local housing industry.
The following are the 2010 winners.
