Remodeling Big 50 company of 2016Stephanie Vanderbilt, owner of Coastal Windows & Exteriors, has been selected by REMODELING magazine to join the REMODELING Big50. The 2016 Big50 winners are featured in the May issue of REMODELING, a national trade publication read by more than 130,000 professional remodeling contractors, with longer profiles of the winners posted on the REMODELING website.

Each year since 1986, the REMODELING Big50 inducts 50 owners of remodeling companies that have set exceptionally high standards for professionalism and integrity through exemplary business practices, craftsmanship, and impact in their community or the industry at large. Big50 remodelers run successful, often growing, companies of various sizes that have taken the lead in raising industry standards.

The Big50 selection process has become increasingly rigorous in recent years, and the result, REMODELING editors believe, is one of the strongest classes to date. “Uniting the 2016 inductees are high standards and a determination to excel — taking the opportunity to build efficiencies into their systems and processes— ensuring that they are poised to meet their sales, production, and customer-service goals and continue to thrive,” according to REMODELING.

“We are very honored to receive this distinction,” says Stephanie Vanderbilt, owner at Coastal Windows & Exteriors. “The award recognizes excellence and leadership, and we are privileged to be the only exterior remodeler in New England to make the list.” REMODELING, published by Hanley Wood, is the leading publication in the home improvement industry.

REMODELING has and continues to be the indispensable tool that remodelers cannot do without delivering the business know-how, product and technical information that home improvement pros need to help make smart decisions that will shape their project success.
