DENVER — Seventy-two companies from across the United States were named winners at the 2023 Chrysalis Awards for Remodeling Excellence. The entries were judged on the overall design, the creative use of space and materials, and the degree to which the project enhanced the original structure. 

The 72 companies honored included woodworking and cabinet companies such as:

• BKC Kitchen and Bath
• KSI Kitchen & Bath
• S&W Kitchens Inc.
• Architectural Workshop

One of the winners was BKC Kitchen and Bath in Denver. The company's winning project was a kitchen space with a large center island to accommodate family and friends, but the dimensions of their original kitchen were too tight. Heather Evans, BKC's designer, re-imagined the space, replacing a walk-in pantry with extra cabinet storage. The result features custom cabinets with plenty of storage space and the center island serving as the room's social core. 

"At BKC, we listen carefully to our clients, develop creative solutions, and deliver unparalleled customer experience, peace of mind, and lasting value," said Evans. "We understand how hard it is to create a gathering place for family and friends when your kitchen was not designed with this in mind. By bringing thoughtful design, premium cabinetry, and exceptional service to every project, we create a space where our customers feel happier and more connected." 

"To win an award in this highly competitive category is quite an achievement," said Ken Kanline, Director of the Chrysalis Awards. "This was the first year BKC Kitchen and Bath entered the Chrysalis Awards, and to take home a top honor on the first attempt is impressive."  

Since 1978, BKC Kitchen and Bath has been a supplier of premium cabinetry to the Denver area, helping clients create stunning kitchens, baths, and whole-house cabinet projects across Metro Denver and the Front Range. 

The Chrysalis Awards program, begun in 1994, recognizes the nation's best work in fourteen categories of residential and commercial remodeling. The Chrysalis Awards are open to every professional remodeler and design professional in the United States.
