Copper Sky’s Sixth OBIE Award from 2018

Just like in the Oscars, where each winning performance is awarded for its own unique brilliance, our sixth and final OBIE award for 2018 goes to a room whose style is unexpectedly modern and industrial for Coppery Sky’s reputation as a historic home remodeler specializing in Craftsman and Victorian-era home remodels. Showcasing our broad repertoire of design skills, this award is for our additional dwelling unit (ADU) in Oakhurst, which took second place in OBIE’s Best Specialty Room category.

In 2018, we won several remodeling OBIE Awards, including Best Kitchen over $50,000, Best Bathroom over $25,000, best addition, and overall Remodeler of the Year from the Atlanta Sales and Marketing Council--but the fun isn’t over. Today, we’re excited to show you around our Atlanta, GA, Virginia Highlands remodel that won OBIE’S Best Basement over $75,000.

Just as with our best bathroom over $25,000, this is our second year in a row taking OBIE’s first place award for best addition. We built this second-story addition onto a charming, historic bungalow home in Oakhurst for a growing family with two young children and a third on the way.

At Copper Sky Renovations, this is our second year in a row winning OBIE’s first place award for 2018’s Best Bathroom over $25,000. (Be sure to view our 2017 gold winner, as well as our 2017 silver winner!) The OBIE Awards were created in 1980 to recognize excellence in the Atlanta, GA new home construction industry. As a company that consciously celebrates excellence in all our projects, we’re thrilled to have been presented this award by the Atlanta Sales and Marketing Council.

Looking back on 2018, we’re proud to have been named the OBIE Awards Remodeler of the Year, but taking home this title wouldn’t have been possible without the devoted care our team gives to each project we take on. Our attention to the details has been recognized through the other OBIE awards we garnered this year for individual categories like Best Kitchen over $50,000. This is our second year winning first place in this category, and we can’t wait to take you on a tour of our winning kitchen in the Atlanta, GA area.
