Some recognition celebrates a single project. Other recognition reflects years of listening, designing, building, and earning the trust of a community.
Powers Design & Build is honored to be named Oklahoma Magazine’s Best of the Best 2026 for both Best Kitchen Designer and Best Home Builder/Remodeler. Receiving one award would be meaningful. Being recognized in two categories that represent both thoughtful design and skilled construction makes this moment especially significant for our entire team.
Most importantly, these honors belong to more than our company. They reflect the homeowners who invited us into their homes, trusted us with important decisions, and allowed us to turn their ideas into spaces shaped around the way they live.
Two Awards, One Complete Approach
What makes these two awards such a natural pairing?
A successful home project requires more than an attractive design. It also takes careful planning, practical problem-solving, quality construction, and clear coordination from beginning to end. The design must look beautiful, but it also needs to make everyday life more comfortable and functional.
That relationship between creativity and construction has always been central to our work at Powers Design & Build.
Being recognized as Best Kitchen Designer reflects the attention we give to how kitchens feel and function. Being named Best Home Builder/Remodeler speaks to the craftsmanship, organization, and experience required to bring a complete vision to life. Together, the awards recognize the full design-build process our clients experience.
What Makes a Kitchen Truly Work?
What happens in your kitchen between 7:00 and 8:00 on a weekday morning?
Does everyone end up crossing the same narrow path? Is the coffee maker competing with breakfast preparation? Are small appliances taking over the countertop because there is nowhere practical to put them?
Those details tell us more than a list of trendy features ever could.
Our kitchen design process begins by understanding how the household actually uses the room. Some homeowners need generous prep space because they cook every day. Others want seating that keeps family and guests close without placing them directly in the work zone. Storage may mean deep drawers for cookware, a pantry that can handle bulk shopping, or a dedicated place for appliances that currently live on the counter.
At Powers Design & Build, kitchen remodeling is about connecting those practical answers with a design that feels personal. Cabinetry, countertops, appliances, lighting, storage, and architectural details all need to work together. The result should not simply photograph well. It should make daily routines easier and give people a space they genuinely enjoy using.
The Best Kitchen Designer recognition is especially meaningful because it celebrates that balance of beauty, flow, and function.
Remodeling and Building with the Whole Home in Mind
Homeowners rarely think about one room in complete isolation. A kitchen remodel may affect an adjoining dining area. A bathroom renovation may reveal opportunities to improve storage or accessibility. A home addition must feel connected to the original structure, not like an afterthought.
As a design-build firm, Powers Design & Build helps homeowners consider how every decision fits into the larger picture. Our services include kitchen and bathroom remodeling, whole-home renovations, home additions, and custom home construction. Each project is approached with the same goal: create a home that better supports the people living in it.
For some families, that means opening a dated floor plan and creating more natural movement between rooms. For others, it means adding space for aging parents, returning adult children, or frequent guests. A custom home may offer the opportunity to shape every detail from the ground up, while a thoughtful remodel can preserve the character homeowners already love.
The right solution is not always the biggest change. It is the change that makes the home feel more intuitive, comfortable, and distinctly yours.
Recognition Built on Trust
Awards are exciting, but the most meaningful part of this recognition is what stands behind it.
More than 1,500 completed projects represent more than a number. Each one began with a homeowner explaining what was not working, what they hoped could change, and what mattered enough to protect.
That trust is never taken lightly.
Our designers, project managers, craftspeople, suppliers, and trade partners each play a role in delivering a successful project. Their knowledge, attention to detail, and commitment to the client experience are the reasons Powers Design & Build can provide continuity from the first design discussion through construction and completion.
These awards recognize their work, too.
