Wentworth Named National Winner of the 2011 Chrysalis Awards for Remodeling Excellence

Continuing to set new standards of professionalism, 81 remodeling companies from across the United States were named winners at the eighteenth annual Chrysalis Awards for Remodeling Excellence. The winning projects were selected from over 400 entries, and entries were judged on overall design, the creative use of space and materials and the degree to which the project enhance the original structure.

The National Winner in the competitive Residential Exterior over $100,000 category went to Wentworth’s dramatic transformation of a Silver Spring, Maryland home’s facade. When longtime enthusiasts of residential modern architecture wanted to update their 1960s split-foyer home with the addition of a two-car garage and a distinguished front entry, Wentworth came up with a design that is both functional and like nothing in the surrounding neighborhood.

“To win an award in this highly competitive category is quite an achievement,” says Ken Kanline, Director of the Awards. This Wentworth home remodeling project also took home the Grand Prize in the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) CotY Awards.

“ From the architects to the carpenters, we had complete confidence in Wentworth's expertise. Once construction started, we were very pleased with the communication we had with Wentworth -- Victor kept us apprised of scheduling issues and other relevant developments, and was (and continues to be) extremely responsive and professional. Wentworth did an outstanding job of resolving every hiccup that occurred during the course of our project. Wentworth met our extremely high expectations in almost every area. Our initial meeting with Bruce made clear that Wentworth was the only real choice for our renovation: unlike the several other architects and builders we consulted, Bruce asked us probing questions about how we use our house, actually listened to us, and then gave us options for renovating our space that were beautiful and met our functional needs. We will recommend Wentworth next time we know someone who's looking to renovate. We love our new space - thank you for creating it! ”
