We're Celebrating Big Wins: Back-to-Back BANNer Awards and 10 Years of Houzz Recognition!
We're thrilled to share some exciting news from our team at Wide Canvas! This award season has been particularly special, with recognition that truly reflects our commitment to excellence in kitchen and bathroom design throughout the Reno-Tahoe area.
A Double Win Worth Celebrating
We've just been honored with the 2025 BANNer award for best residential remodel – marking our second consecutive year winning this prestigious recognition from the Builder's Association of Northern Nevada. But that's not all! We've also received our 10th straight Houzz service award in 2026, an incredible milestone that speaks volumes about our dedication to client satisfaction.
To put this Houzz achievement in perspective: only 2-3% of the 3 million professionals on Houzz receive Best of Houzz awards each year. This makes our decade-long streak even more remarkable and meaningful.
These aren't just any awards – they represent something really meaningful in the design industry. The BANNer awards come from peer recognition within the construction and design community, while Houzz awards are based entirely on real client reviews and satisfaction scores. When you see this kind of consistent recognition, you know you're looking at a team that truly delivers.
It's a Team Effort
"I’m incredibly proud of our team and deeply grateful to our amazing clients who trust us with their design visions,” says Jackie Lopey, founder and principal designer of Wide Canvas Design. “These awards celebrate not only our design expertise but also the collaborative relationships we build with every client. Our success is truly a team effort—from our talented designers and support staff to the builders who bring our work to life, and the clients who inspire us with their unique visions for their homes."
What Makes These Awards Special
Let's talk about what these awards really mean for homeowners considering a kitchen or bathroom design project:
Proven Design Excellence: Winning the same award two years in a row isn't luck – it's evidence of our refined design process and consistent quality. We've clearly mastered the art of creating exceptional residential designs, regardless of project size or complexity.
Client Satisfaction Excellence: A decade of Houzz service awards is remarkable, especially considering how exclusive these awards are. This means that year after year, through different market conditions and challenges, we've maintained the kind of service that keeps clients happy and willing to recommend us to others.
Industry Respect: When our peers in the construction and design industry recognize our work, it signals something special. It means we're not just meeting standards – we're setting them.
Why Consistent Recognition Matters
In the design world, consistency is everything. Anyone can create a great design here and there, but maintaining excellence over time? That's what separates the truly exceptional design studios from the rest.
Our sustained success shows we've built systems and processes that work. We've cultivated relationships with reliable suppliers and contractors, developed efficient design processes, and created a team culture focused on quality and client satisfaction.
For homeowners, this means working with a design studio that has learned from experience, refined our approach, and consistently delivers results that exceed expectations.
The Value of Award-Winning Design Service
When you're planning a kitchen or bathroom design project, you want partners who understand the importance of clear communication, realistic timelines, and quality design work. Our award history suggests we excel in all these areas.
Our decade of Houzz recognition is particularly telling because these awards come directly from client feedback. This means real homeowners – people who lived through the design process – were so satisfied with their experience that they took time to leave positive reviews.
That's the kind of service experience that makes the difference between a stressful design project and an exciting transformation you'll love for years to come.
Here's what our clients Mike and Nicole, for whom we designed the 2023-24 BANNer award winning kitchen, had to say “Working with Jackie at Wide Canvas on our kitchen remodel was an incredible experience. She truly handled every detail from start to finish, making the entire process feel seamless and stress-free. Her vision, organization, and dedication turned what could have been overwhelming into something genuinely enjoyable. We couldn’t be happier with the result and loved working with her!”
Looking Forward
These awards represent more than just recognition for past work – they're a promise of continued excellence. We've shown we can maintain high standards year after year, which gives homeowners confidence in choosing us for their own design projects.
Whether you're dreaming of a kitchen that better fits your lifestyle or a bathroom that feels like a personal retreat, working with our award-winning design team means you're starting your project with proven professionals who understand what it takes to deliver exceptional results.
The combination of industry recognition and sustained client satisfaction makes us a standout choice for homeowners in the Reno-Sparks-Truckee-Tahoe area who want their design experience to be as impressive as their final results.
