What a Best of Houzz Badge Means on a Pro’s Profile Page
Here’s a guide to the Best of Houzz awards and how you can connect with winning pros near you
If you spot a Best of Houzz badge on a home pro’s profile page, you’ve come across a person or firm whose work truly stands out. The annual Best of Houzz awards recognize the top-rated home pros and most popular designs on Houzz by category and area, across the country and around the world.
Only a little more than 3% of Houzz’s 2.5 million active home pros win each year. In many cases, that means the winning photos garnered thousands or even tens of thousands of ideabook saves. In other words, Best of Houzz winners are pros and designs that seriously wow the Houzz community.
