Contractors from around the metropolitan area vie for CotY Awards each year. Judging is based on problem solving, functionality, aesthetics, craftsmanship, innovation, and degree of difficulty by an impartial panel of industry experts.

The goal was to create an open concept and an updated kitchen/entertaining space that is functional for an empty nest couple that love to cook together. To obtain this layout, a nonload bearing wall was demolished between the kitchen and living room. A large island replaced a standard table. Built in hutch/pantry storage replaced a traditional China hutch. Dated sheet vinyl and carpeting were replaced with LVP in the entire space to create a cohesive look throughout. The mix of modern and transitional materials, finishes, and fixtures result in the perfect blend (marriage) of both their American and English cultures.
