A local lake cottage and a reimagined suburban kitchen were honored last weekas some of Alabamas best remodeling jobs over the past year.

WSC Distinctive Builders of Wetumpkas lake cottage work won two categories and finished as the runner-up in two others at the Alabama Remodeling Excellence Awards.

Faced with a well-located home that had dated designs and structural issues, they redesigned and expanded the house while re-using existing material. That included creating a new foyer and great room with a bar looking out on to the lake. Walls were removed to expand the kitchen and family den, and a former garage was converted into a master suite with vaulted ceilings, bay windows and its own private porch.

A second story was also added, along with an observation tower that overlooks the lake.

Selby Davis Builder of Montgomery won best kitchen remodeling project under $40,000 for its work to updated and redesign part of a suburban home. The update included new quartz countertops and backsplash, new cabinets and island, and under-counter lights. They installed a double oven, gas cooktop and new dishwasher.

Selby Davis Builder also landed a runner-up award for a separate backyard barbecue project.

Kimbro Renovations of Montgomery took home two runner-up awards, including one for a whole house remodeling project over $500,000. That started with stripping the existing structure to the studs, replacing plumbing, electrical and HVAC systems, relocating the kitchen, adding a 2,500-square-foot master suite, and building a carport and second driveway.

The goal was to combine old and new construction in a seamless way, while adding modern amenities.
