How We Won 2026 Best Of Houzz For Both Service And Design

Another year, another celebration of the Best of Houzz Awards for both Service and Design.

Gallery KBNY has once again been named Best of Houzz in Design and Best of Houzz in Service, marking the sixth consecutive year our NYC design-build firm has received both distinctions.

The Best of Houzz awards are based on homeowner engagement and client reviews across the Houzz platform. The Design award reflects how often project photography is saved and referenced by users planning their own renovations, while the Service award is based on verified client feedback and overall satisfaction. Winners are selected directly by the Houzz community.

For a firm specializing in Manhattan apartment renovations, Brooklyn brownstone remodels, and full-service co-op and condo renovations throughout New York City, consistency is critical. Each project requires careful planning, coordination with building management and boards, detailed documentation, and disciplined execution. Design alone is not enough, service and predictability matter just as much.

With more than 80 completed NYC renovation projects featured on Houzz, Gallery KBNY continues to serve homeowners undertaking significant interior transformations across Manhattan and Brooklyn. From pre-war co-op renovations on the Upper West Side to landmarked brownstones in Carroll Gardens and loft conversions in Tribeca, our work reflects both thoughtful design and structured project management.

As a full-service NYC design-build firm, we manage architecture, interior design, permitting, procurement, and construction under one roof. Our approach prioritizes detailed scope definition, transparent budgeting, and proactive communication, all of which help minimize surprises and reduce common renovation challenges in New York City buildings.

Receiving Best of Houzz in both Design and Service for six consecutive years reinforces our commitment to delivering high-quality, well-managed renovations in one of the most complex construction environments in the country.

We’re grateful to our clients for their trust and to the Houzz community for the continued recognition.
