We were honored Wednesday night to be the recipient of the 2007 Professional Service Provider of the Year COTY Award from the Minnesota chapter of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry. Prime has multiple clients in the remodeling industry including NARI members Vision Remodeling, Advanced Home Improvement, Select Integrated Systems and Paramount Granite.  The COTY awards are the Contractor Of The Year awards in various categories of remodeling projects and associated services. The event is held at the McNamara Alumni Center at the University of Minnesota and had over 500 people in attendance.

Our company President and owner Mark Murray received the award on stage as WCCO News anchor Frank Vascellaro emceed the event again this year. As you can see from the photo above myself and Jody Niskanen were also present.  Jody has been very involved with NARI for the past year and even donated her time to the COTY event planning and execution this year.  No doubt that her interaction and dedication aided in our recognition.

We had the pleasure of sitting with Keith Holtan of Holtan Kitchens and Remodeling and his two staff members.  It was fun getting to know another talented and award winning remodeler as Holtan received the COTY Honorable Mention Award in the category for Bathroom Remodeling Project over $60,000.  Wow!

You can view the entire list of COTY winners and some more photos of us at Paramount Granite’s Blog, Barb does a great job of small business blogging as well!

It’s great to be recognized for the hard work and dedication we give our clients.  For many construction industry clients we provide web design and hosting services, logo design, print and brochure design, video testimonials, blogs and more.  The synergy of managing so many of their marketing tools together allows us to work closely with them on growing their business.

Here are the rest of the photos I managed to snap from the night.  As you can see, it’s a large event with great people and a ton of fun.
