Many of the most remarkable Denver-area remodeling jobs go unnoticed each year, but a local trade group made sure that a few of the polished gems got to shine. The National Association of the Remodeling Industry’s Front Range Chapter honors its members whose projects stand out.
The two top prizes in the 2008 Contractor of the Year Awards went to Cambridge Construction in Denver (www.basementsandremodels.com) and Design Adventures in Brighton (www.designadventures.net).
Judged by their peers and consumers, both companies proved that a remodeled home can be better than a new home when the right design and craftsmanship is applied. Their award-winning projects were judged on functionality, problem solving, craftsmanship, innovation, difficulty and entry presentation.
For Cambridge Construction (this page), the homeowners’ goal was to “increase the size, aesthetic appeal, functionality and flow of a 1982 ranch home.” The project included building a guest-suite addition and then remodeling the entire house. Indeed, every corner of the house received a new look.

The Design Adventures project (opposite page) focused on the kitchen. The homeowners wanted to “make a long-term investment in modernizing the kitchen as a social and functional space in preparation for retirement.” From the wood floors and countertops to the cabinets and appliances, the kitchen was reworked to meet their needs.
