ST PETERSBURG,
FLORIDA –
Grady and Diane Portelli, owners of QUALITY
HOME RENOVATORS, have been selected by REMODELING magazine to join the
REMODELING Big50. The Big50 awards were presented at a gala dinner at the
Remodeling Leadership Conference in Washington, DC on May 8, 2014. The 2014 Big50 winners are featured in the
May issue of REMODELING, a national trade publication read by more than 130,000
professional remodeling contractors, with longer profiles of the winners posted
on the REMODELING website, remodelingmag.com.
Each year since 1986, the
REMODELING Big50 inducts 50 owners of remodeling companies that have set
exceptionally high standards for professionalism and integrity through
exemplary business practices, craftsmanship, and impact their community or the
industry at large. Big50 remodelers run
successful, often growing, companies of various sizes that have taken the lead
in raising industry standards.
The Big50 selection process has
become increasingly rigorous in recent years, and the result, REMODELING
editors believe, is one of the strongest classes to date. “Uniting the 2014
inductees are high standards and a determination to rebound the recession –
taking the opportunity to retool systems and processes – ensuring that they are
poised to meet their sales, production, and customer-service goals and continue
to thrive,” according to REMODELING.
“We are very honored to receive
this distinction,” says Diane Portelli, Contractor/Project Manager of Quality
Home Renovators. “The award recognizes
excellence and leadership, and we are privileged to be named to this select
group of remodelers.”
REMODELING editors, columnists,
industry leaders, and the companies themselves make the nominations each
year. Following a lengthy evaluation and
interview process, the editors select the 50 individuals who exemplify the best
of the industry that year, and who have something to offer other remodelers in
proven practices.
