Voted Best of R-Home 2026!

Voted Best of R-Home 2026!

There’s an old saying in the trades: “A house is only as strong as its foundation.” At HomeMasons, we’ve always felt that our real foundation is the trust we’ve built with homeowners and neighbors across Richmond.

That’s why our entire team is so incredibly proud and humbled to share the results of the 2026 R•Home Readers’ Favorites survey. Thanks to your votes, HomeMasons was recognized in two categories that speak directly to how we care for your home: #1 Best General Contractor, and, #1 Best Carpenter or Handyman.

Why Your Trust is the Real Prize

What makes these awards truly special is that they are “Readers’ Favorites.” These aren’t just industry accolades; they are a direct reflection of the relationships we’ve built in Ginter Park, the Museum District, Midlothian, and throughout Richmond. Being recognized in both large-scale contracting and the specialized craft of a handyman tells us that our approach, bridging technical precision and creative vision, is exactly what Richmond homeowners are looking for in 2026.

The Right Partner for 2026

As we’ve discussed recently, we are at the start of a massive home renovation surge. Data from the Harvard JCHS study and industry insiders have predicted a “slow and steady” climb that has finally hit its peak. As the market heats up, the nature of home improvement is splitting into two distinct paths, and our capabilities are now better than ever to serve both.

Make Your Current Home Your Dream Home

Many homeowners are choosing to stay put and protect their current mortgage rates. In these cases, the technical health of your house… everything from wood rot to drafty windows, becomes essential. Our Handyman division is here to diagnose and tackle the repairs that keep your home safe and sound.

We are especially excited that this honor comes on the heels of our acquisition of Autumn Hunter Designs. By joining forces with Steffanie and her team, we have significantly expanded our resources. This means that every essential fix… from a drafty window tune-up to a complex wood rot repair – receives the same master-level attention that you’ve come to expect from us.

Making The Home You Bought Your Own

On the other hand, we see a significant volume of business when properties turn over or when families decide it’s time for a radical change. This is where our Remodeling division shines.

We don’t just build additions; we solve puzzles. Whether it’s transforming a 1950s ranch into a modern master suite or doubling the footprint of a historic home while maintaining its soul, our work is defined by unique creativity. We take pride in finding the “Third Way”—the solution that isn’t just functional, but genuinely beautiful and tailored to how you live. This creative-first Design-Build approach is what earned us the #1 General Contractor spot.

Capabilities That Provide Comfort

Whether we are taking an old cinderblock fishing cottage and turning it into a riverfront retreat, or precisely sealing the rub points on your exterior trim to keep out water intrusion (what we call ‘structural cancer’), our approach is always the same: we diagnose the why before we fix the how.

How Can We Help?

As I often say, our clients don’t come to us just to win awards. They come to us for the comfort of knowing their contractor is capable of achieving these honors regularly. In a year like 2026, when resources are tight and quality labor is at a premium, having a contractor with a proven track record is the best insurance policy you can have for your home.

Thank you for voting for us, for trusting us with your most creative visions and your most essential repairs, and for being part of the HomeMasons family.
