About MICA > Remodeler of the Year 2003

 

Get the Royal Treatment! Want to get the "royal" treatment from your customers? How about recognition as one of MICA's Remodelers of the Year!

It's time again for you to give consideration to entering the Remodeler of the Year Awards (ROYALs) sponsored by the Maryland Improvement Contractors Association & Chesapeake Home. Recipients of these awards have found the competition a wonderful way to enhance their marketing efforts and capture new remodeling jobs for the future.

This year's awards presentations will be made on Wednesday, November 19, 2003 during ceremonies in the prestigious Center Club located in the Legg Mason Tower.

Please be sure to note that the deadline for receipt of entries is September 10, 2003 by 5 p.m. Winning entries will be featured in Chesapeake Home magazine and on MarylandRemodelers.com.

Winners will also receive a handsome plaque designed for mounting in their show room, a letter of congratulations from MICA which is great for adding to your marketing portfolio, a sample news release which can be used in your local media, recognition in the MICA overall news release and the honor of knowing your job(s) were among the best in Maryland for 2003.

Projects in 12 categories will be judged on aesthetic appeal, construction techniques, the handling of unusual situations, attention to detail, and/or financial success of the venture. Project descriptions should be succinct yet presented in a manner that describes why the project deserves an award.

All of the following areas should be detailed in the submission material and numbered accordingly:

1. Background. Briefly give history of the project, why structure needed to be remodeled/renovated, and special circumstances that might have contributed to that challenge.

2. Solutions. Explain how problems were overcome and how owner expectations were satisfied. Include reasoning behind each specific solution or design element.

3. Cost and square footage. Include the total cost of the project and the square footage of existing space, as well as the remodeled area. Include before and after floor plans when possible.

4. Benefits. Describe benefits derived by owners of project in terms of enhanced living space, resale value, etc.

5. Principals. Include the company name and principals involved, as well as the names of the architects, major subcontractors, designers, etc.

6. Major products. List the manufacturers of major products in the project, e.g. flooring, windows, cabinetry, appliances, plumbing fixtures, floor covering, etc.

7. Photos. 8x10 color photos of the finished project are preferred (though color Xerox copies or 4x5 prints are OK), and 4x5 black & white prints of the project before remodeling/renovation are acceptable. Each photo should have a caption describing its content.
