KB2 WINS WBA REMODELING AWARDMADISON- Cindy Knutson-Lycholat, CGR, CAPS of Knutson Brothers II in East Troy won the “Specialty” category in the 2010 “A Cut Above the Rest” Wisconsin Builders Association (WBA) remodeling competition at the Wisconsin Builders Conference held at the Chula Vista Resort in Wisconsin Dells from February 10-12, 2011. The WBA remodeling awards showcase the work and commitment members have to the remodeling industry. Winners of the “Cut Above the Rest” have proven to uphold values such as pride in craftsmanship, attention to detail, extraordinary customer service, and a passion for the industry. The 2010 A Cut Above the Rest WBA remodeling awards were sponsored exclusively by American/Kennedy-Hahn. All entries were judged by a jury of professionals in the remodeling and building industry. Winning entries were selected based on their unique, creative approach to design, aesthetics and marketing appeal, sensitivity to existing building elements, appropriate use of existing building elements and functional value and cost effectiveness.
The Wisconsin Builders Association®, consisting of 25 local associations, is an organization of more than 6,000 members committed to preserving and promoting the American dream of home ownership by working for quality, safe and affordable housing in Wisconsin. |
The winning project utilized the foundation of an existing sunroom as a starting point to add an additional conventional room using casement windows and skylights. In addition to the sunroom work, three round bubble windows were replaced with custom round, flat units and two patio doors. Existing window units were adjusted and reused, saving the owner thousands in replacement costs. Vinyl siding was installed with a R-5 insulating factor. The furnance and air conditioner were replaced with energy-efficient units and balanced the system. The home is now more consistent in temperature from room to room. Less draft and less expensive to heat.
