Each year, the Remodeling 550 receives entries from companies of all stripes: large, small, established, new, and more. For the past two years, our editors picked companies from the list to profile. We selected eight companies to interview from the 2016 list. The following year, from the 2017 list, we chose five companies to write about. These companies exhibited outstanding growth, excellent business practices, or innovative ways to earn additional revenue in their respective years, no matter where they ranked on the 550.

Check out these profiles below. If you think you measure up to these companies, apply here for the 2018 Remodeling 550. See where you rank among the top firms in the nation!
