For homeowners in Sussex County weighing a major renovation, the choice of contractor can feel like a gamble. A new industry recognition, grounded entirely in customer feedback, may help tip the scales toward one local firm.
Delaware Home Improvements, a residential remodeling company based in Harbeson, has been awarded Contractor of the Year in the General Contractors category by the Consumer Ratings Institute. The honor is backed by 70 public consumer reviews and an aggregate 4.9-star rating, underscoring the company’s focus on both build quality and the overall client journey.
Operating for over ten years, the fully licensed and insured firm caters to homeowners across Sussex County and the Delaware beach communities, including Lewes, Rehoboth Beach, Milton, Harbeson, and Dewey Beach. Its core offerings center on upscale basement renovations, bathroom makeovers, bonus room conversions, and full-scale home transformations, with custom additions, decks, and outdoor living spaces also available.
The company’s methodology blends creative design with meticulous execution. Basement projects convert unused square footage into entertainment zones, guest suites, or everyday living areas. Bathroom work pairs premium materials, bespoke tile installation, and efficient layouts. Bonus rooms and structural additions accommodate expanding households, while whole-home renovations unify kitchens, living spaces, and architectural features into a single, coherent aesthetic.
For every job, the priority extends beyond surface-level looks. The selection of materials, attention to finishing touches, sensible floor plans, and adherence to building codes all contribute to finished spaces that are both attractive and durable. Whether the project involves a primary residence or a coastal vacation property, the team adapts its approach to match the lifestyle of the homeowner.
“Our goal is to be the go-to remodeling team for Sussex County and the Delaware beaches,” said Randy Rangel, owner of Delaware Home Improvements. “Homeowners trust us with a significant investment, and we take that seriously. We focus on the details, communicate throughout the project and deliver spaces our clients can be proud of. This recognition means a great deal because it reflects their experience working with our team.”
The process for each renovation starts with a consultation aimed at identifying the client’s needs, aesthetic preferences, and financial parameters. Following that, the firm outlines a detailed work plan, handles material procurement and scheduling, and oversees construction right up to the final inspection. Maintaining open lines of communication and setting clear expectations are principles that guide every phase of the work.
