2008 COTY Winners  

Best In Show
DiGiacomo Homes & Renovation, Inc. received the Contractor of the Year (COTY) Award’s greatest honor this year with “Best In Show” out of more than 140 projects and a the first perfect score ever earned by a company since the awards were first handed out by the National Association of the Remodeling Industry 12 years ago.   “Our company is truly humbled by this award,” said DiGiacomo Homes & Renovation owner, Rocky DiGiacomo.  “This would not have been possible without our clients who, over the past 20 years, have continued to refer our company to friends, neighbors and family.  To them we owe a great deal of thanks.”

National Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Award

DiGiacomo Homes & Renovation, Inc. was honored with an Honorable Mention for the “National Designing and Building with FSC Award.”  Three awards are issued nationwide – one overall winner, one honorable mention for residential construction, and one honorable mention for commercial construction.  DiGiacomo Homes & Renovation President, Rocky DiGiacomo, traveled to Boston in November 2008 to receive the award in a ceremony that was held in conjunction with the National Green Build Conference.  The project – a new, custom home designed and built by DiGiacomo for clients in Golden Valley, MN – was selected as an award winner because it utilized nearly 100% FSC certified wood for framing lumber, cabinets and millwork and because of the work DiGiacomo Homes & Renovation staff did to educate suppliers and the public about FSC and its mission.
