renovation projects undertaken in Manitoba over the past year at the MHBA’s annual RenoMark Renovation of the Year Awards. This year, entries were featured in seven different award categories – Additions, Kitchens, Bathrooms, Exteriors, Whole House, Outdoor Structure, and Basement. Each projected nominated for the RenoMark Renovation Awards is as stunning display of what professional renovators can do in terms of updating and upgrading your home. This year’s Award winners were announced virtually at the premier of the MHBA’s 2021 Virtual Renovation Awards video on June 3, 2021. This year, 72 different projects by 16 outstanding MHBA RenoMark renovators were nominated for awards. Each entry consisted of before and after photos, blueprints and drawings, a detailed description of the work done, design details and any additional information that might contribute to this comprehensive package. Judging was done by a panel of judges who reviewed every entry in every category. Everybody has been spending more time at home over the past year. As we do, many are taking this as a great time to get that home renovation project underway. Whether it’s something that they have been longing to improve in their kitchen or a bathroom that needs updating, Manitobans have been investing into their homes during the pandemic. Many of us love our neighbourhood and love our house, but we also discovered that we need change. Maybe the colours and styles from 10 years ago just don‘t cut it today. You may feel that traffic flow and entertaining guests is encumbered by a bevy of walls and rooms and it’s time to open things up. Maybe there’s a reason no one goes down into the basement anymore. Or maybe you need more room for a growing family. An addition is like creating a whole new living space; a whole new lifestyle for your family without the hassles associated with moving. If you’re considering a renovation, look to the standards and practices of a professional RenoMark renovator. MHBA renovators follow the highest professional standards in Canada. The Code of Ethics and tips on what to look for when hiring a renovator can be found at the Manitoba Home Builders’ Association website at www. homebuilders.mb.ca. The MHBA website has great tips, videos, and a full listing of our renovator members by visiting and clicking the “Renovating your home?” button.

Look carefully and then envision your next renovation project for your home. Hire a RenoMark renovator and your renovation might just end up being featured as the Renovation of the Year.
