Our Award-Winning Remodeling Design and Why It Matters to Phoenix Homeowners

When you’re planning a home remodel, design is more than just visual appeal—it’s the key to how your space feels, functions, and supports your lifestyle. At Homework Remodels, we’re proud that our remodeling designs consistently win regional and national recognition, including multiple Contractor of the Year (CotY) Awards from the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI).

But what do these design awards really mean for you as a homeowner in Phoenix, Scottsdale, or any surrounding East Valley community? Let’s explore how our commitment to design excellence can elevate your remodeling experience—and your home.

What Makes a Remodeling Design Award-Winning?

An award-winning design isn’t just beautiful. It must demonstrate innovation, technical skill, and how effectively it solves a homeowner’s challenge. Our winning projects often address difficult layouts, small spaces, outdated features, or complex structural issues, and transform them into functional, inviting, and value-boosting spaces.

Judged by panels of experienced remodeling professionals, NARI CotY Awards and other industry honors recognize not just creativity but also execution. Each submission is evaluated for problem-solving, use of materials, aesthetics, craftsmanship, and overall impact.

When you hire Homework Remodels, you’re working with a design-build company that has earned awards not because we chase trophies, but because we pursue excellence on your behalf.

 

Real Results Backed by Recognition

Our award-winning designs encompass kitchens, bathrooms, historic home restorations, additions, and comprehensive whole-home remodels. One recent example is our Modern Kitchen Remodel in Tempe, which won a regional CotY Award thanks to its sleek layout, increased storage, and clever blend of open-concept living with a modern Southwest flair.

Other standout projects include:

  • A Traditional Kitchen Transformation in Phoenix that respected the home’s historic architecture while introducing 21st-century functionality.
  • A Custom Outdoor Living Remodel in North Phoenix, where a scenic two-story addition created an entertainer’s paradise overlooking Lookout Mountain Preserve.
  • An Aging-in-Place Master Bathroom in Scottsdale, which combined luxurious design with universal accessibility—earning both design acclaim and homeowner gratitude.

Why Design Matters in Remodeling

Too often, homeowners think of design as surface-level—a paint color, a cabinet style, or a trendy fixture. However, at Homework Remodels, we understand that great design is much more than that.

It’s how you move through your kitchen. How natural light fills your home. How storage is integrated. How your home feels just right because it was thoughtfully designed around your lifestyle.

An award-winning design process helps you:

  • Maximize Functionality: We reevaluate layouts to minimize waste, optimize flow, and enhance usability.
  • Improve Comfort: A well-designed remodel makes day-to-day life easier and more enjoyable.
  • Increase Home Value: Remodeling Magazine’s Cost vs. Value report consistently shows a higher return on investment (ROI) for professionally designed spaces.
  • Avoid Regret: With smart planning upfront, we prevent costly changes later and ensure long-term satisfaction.

 

Our Design-Build Approach to Award-Winning Work

Unlike traditional remodeling firms, Homework Remodels uses a fully integrated design-build process. That means you’ll work with one team from concept to completion. Our designers and builders collaborate from the start, ensuring your remodeling design is not only inspired but also realistic, buildable, and aligned with your budget.

This streamlined system also means:

  • Fewer delays and surprises
  • Clear communication
  • Unified accountability
  • Smarter use of your investment

We use 3D renderings, detailed specifications, and open-book budgeting to guide you through every step. It’s part of our people-first commitment, ensuring your ideas are honored, refined, and beautifully brought to life.

Awards Are a Symbol—Not the Goal

We’re honored every time our work earns recognition. However, for us, the true reward lies in the relationships we build and the joy our clients experience when they step into their transformed space.

That’s why we listen closely, plan thoroughly, and tailor every remodeling design to reflect the people who live in the home. Our awards reflect that personal care—something you can feel in every tile, fixture, and detail.
