THE RenoMark Renovators Council of the Manitoba Home Builders' Association held its annual Renovation of the Year Awards Night on Nov. 4 at the Victoria Inn.
A total of 43 entries were received in six different categories from 10 separate renovators. A panel of judges reviewed and evaluated all 43 entries, scoring them on criteria devised specifically for this competition.
The quality of work was amazing and all 43 projects were on display on signs posted in the banquet room. Competition was extremely close and only a point or two separated many entrants

-- Category I: Additions
