Quote from TBA The Remodelers Council, “Showcase Awards” was the culmination of two years committee work and an effort to recognize the completed projects of Tallahassee’s premier renovation contractors.  Impartial judges, in like fields, from around the state were selected to review the entries.  The resounding success of the first annual “Showcase Awards” has us all looking forward to next year.
