Archwood Pleased to Accept S.T.A.R. Award
In March, 2007, Archwood Building Company received the S.T.A.R. Award for the Best Kitchen Renovation over $75,000. The S.T.A.R. Awards (Spotlighting Triangle Achievements in Remodeling) are presented by the Remodelors Council and The Raleigh-Wake County Home Builders Association. Winners are selected by a panel of judges consisting of architects, designers, and other professionals in the building industry. The judges live and work outside of the Raleigh area and assign each project quality points based on design, workmanship, creativity, and homeowner satisfaction. The award-winning kitchen, located at 2505 Anderson Drive, features granite countertops, Viking appliances, custom cherry cabinetry, and a bar area that opens to the family room.

Archwood Participates in Annual Remodelers Home Tour
Archwood Building Company was pleased to participate in the 6th Annual Remodelers Home Tour in October of 2006. Sponsored by the Remodelors Council of the Home Builders Association of Raleigh-Wake County, the tour occurs each fall. Featured homes present examples of how renovations can transform living space by blending old and new for the optimum in aesthetics and function. The latest trends in architecture and interior design are showcased in a variety of styles and price ranges.
In the fall of 2006, Archwood featured the home located at 2821 Anderson Drive. We transformed the 1,563-square-foot ranch home (built in the 1940s on a large corner lot) into a modern family estate with five bedrooms, four full baths, one half-bath, and a gourmet kitchen and den combination. The list goes on with formal living and dining areas, a downstairs bonus room, and a wine cellar. Outside living areas include a covered porch overlooking a beautiful and spacious backyard. At 4,700 square feet, the newly renovated home sparkles with new life and functionality.
Archwood owner Michael Powell initiated the first Remodelers Home Tour in Raleigh in 2000. Noting that the Parade Home Tours featured only new construction, he felt that a tour showcasing remodeled homes would be of interest to homeowners and prospective homeowners alike. Over 2,000 people viewed the 12 homes on the tour in 2006, and a portion of all proceeds benefited Building Together Ministries.
