Edmonton Office Secures First National Award for Canadian Custom Homebuilder and Renovator

Alair Homes Edmonton is celebrating its first-ever, national award from this weekend’s CHBA National Awards for Housing Excellence. The Edmonton office took home the award for “Whole House Renovation Over $500,000” for its “Chrenek Acres” total transformation renovation in Sherwood Park, Alberta.

Named a finalist in the same category last year for their “Sunhill Estates” renovation, this marks the first national award for the Canadian custom homebuilder and renovation company.

Alair Homes Edmonton also received the CHBA-Alberta Award for “Best Renovation Over $500,000”, as well as two CHBA-Edmonton Region Awards for “Best Exterior Renovation” and “Best Renovation Over $500,000” for the same property. It’s the first time the Canadian company has held a clean sweep at the municipal, regional and national CHBA Awards for one project.

“We are so proud to have this total transformation renovation recognized locally, regionally and now nationally by the Canadian Home Builders’ Association,” said Paul McGavigan, Alair Homes Edmonton Partner. “This was such an incredible project to be part of, and to have a project in the Capital Region bring home the first national CHBA award for the Alair Homes brand is such an honour. We certainly share this remarkable achievement with the homeowners, our team and the many vendors and trades who collaborated on this significant renovation.”

The new CHBA National Awards for Housing Excellence are the successors to the Association’s National SAM Awards, established 37 years ago. Thirty-three CHBA National Awards for Housing Excellence were presented at the Association’s 73rd National Conference on May 6, 2016 in Kelowna, British Columbia.

About Chrenek Acres

Completed in early 2015, this project grew from a simple garage addition to a full-scale renovation and addition. Alair Homes Edmonton utilized the majority of the existing structure to keep reconstruction costs to a minimum.

Every element of the house was upgraded and updated, from the insulation to the trusses, as well as every interior and exterior finish. Complete with a half-size outdoor ice rink, a full-sized outdoor kitchen and entertaining area, and a custom built wine rack in the kitchen; this house was built to suit the homeowner’s lifestyle.
