Remodeling Market Memo

LAS VEGAS — The Wynn Hotel served as an excellent backdrop for the Qualified Remodeler annual awards night held Oct. 9. Three hundred-plus award winners and guests attended the event, which featured music by Ken Kanline, as well as top-notch food and drink.

Ken Kanline got the evening started with an excellent rendition of “Big Time Remodeler.” Ken, who owns the Southern Building Show and the Chrysalis Awards, is also a great musician and song-writer. Anyone who has attended his Chyrsalis Awards program knows first hand the power of his voice and guitar playing.

From there, the program highlighted the achievements of the Top 500 “Top Performers.” Among the companies present to receive their awards were: Larry Judson and his team from K-Designers, Gold River, Calif. K-Designers is No. 5 on the 2007 Top 500 with $63 million in remodeling revenue. They were the Top Performer in the siding category.

The Master Design Awards portion of the evening featured the achievements of over 75 winners, many of who were on hand to receive their awards, namely:
