Paul Davis Restoration and Remodeling of Southeast Wisconsin wins NARI – Wisconsin Remodeler Awards
Milwaukee, Wis. – January 21, 2014 – The National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) has
named Paul Davis Restoration and Remodeling of Southeast Wisconsin as a winner in a variety of 2013
Wisconsin Remodeler Award (WRA) categories. Specifically, the company was honored with a Gold Award
for the Bourbon and Tunns Tavern in the Disaster Fire Restoration category. Paul Davis also won
Silver awards for a local, residential bathroom remodeling project from $30,000 to $60,000 and a
local residential kitchen remodeling project from $40,000 to $80,000.
The awards were presented for projects completed in the Milwaukee area in 2013. Paul Davis
Restoration and Remodeling of Southeast Wisconsin is a member of the NARI Milwaukee, WI Chapter. The
company’s project management and marketing team members accepted the honors on January 17 at the
annual Milwaukee/NARI Wisconsin Remodelers and Local Achievement Awards banquet held at the
Intercontinental Hotel in Milwaukee.
“We are honored to accept the awards for projects that were judged by an impartial panel of experts
within the industry and allied fields,” said Dan Druml, president and owner of the local Paul Davis
franchise office. Druml’s team submitted before-and-after photos and descriptions. Awards were based
on problem solving, functionality, aesthetics, craftsmanship, innovation, degree of difficulty, and
entry presentations. “We greatly appreciate our key employees who are responsible for many
award-winning restoration and remodeling projects throughout the region,” said Druml.
Specifically, the WRA 2013 Gold award was presented for Paul Davis’ high-profile fire damage and
remodeling work at the historic Bourbon & Tunns Tavern in the Third Ward. The three-story bar,
restaurant, banquet hall, kitchen and basement of the Tavern was severely damaged by a late night
chemical fire in the basement. The fire burned for 30 minutes without a source of ventilation, which
allowed the fire to smolder throughout the 7,860 square foot building.
Paul Davis was immediately called upon for emergency services, along with fire, soot, and smoke
damage restoration, and odor removal. The company completed extensive and complex repairs,
restoration and remodeling throughout the structure. Additionally, the electrical system was updated
while addressing code and convenience factors. The remodeling project represents Paul Davis’
award-winning design and construction achievements in southeast Wisconsin for more than 20 years.
