Alair Decatur Celebrates a Banner Year with 25 Industry Awards in 2025
Alair Decatur is closing out 2025 with a deep sense of gratitude and pride after earning an impressive twenty-five national and regional industry awards over the course of the year. The recognitions, achieved across seven separate award competitions held between April and December, underscore the firm’s consistent commitment to excellence in residential construction, remodeling, and collaborative project delivery.
The awards reflect Alair Decatur’s ability to thoughtfully plan, manage, and execute complex residential projects while maintaining a strong focus on quality, innovation, and client satisfaction. Together, they mark a standout year for the local construction firm and reinforce its growing reputation within the custom building and remodeling industry.
Recognition Across Multiple Award Programs
Throughout 2025, Alair Decatur was repeatedly honored by respected industry organizations and publications that recognize outstanding achievements in design, construction quality, and project execution. The firm’s awards span a broad range of categories and competitions, highlighting both technical excellence and creative innovation.
Among the organizations recognizing Alair Decatur this year are the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI), the Georgia Design Awards—sponsored by Atlanta Magazine and Georgia Design—Kitchen & Bath Design News, My Home Improvement, and My Decatur/Druid Hills. Each of these programs uses peer-reviewed judging processes, ensuring that winners are evaluated by experienced professionals within the design and construction community.
Earning accolades from such a diverse group of industry bodies demonstrates Alair Decatur’s versatility and its ability to deliver exceptional results across multiple residential project types, including custom homes, renovations, and specialized interior spaces.
A Year of Consistent Excellence
Winning a single industry award is a notable achievement. Receiving twenty-five awards in a single year is a testament to sustained performance and disciplined execution. For Alair Decatur, the 2025 awards were not the result of one standout project but rather a year-long pattern of delivering excellence across numerous builds.
Each recognized project reflected the firm’s collaborative approach, where builders, designers, architects, and homeowners work closely together from concept to completion. This integrated process allows Alair Decatur to align expectations early, proactively manage challenges, and deliver homes that meet both functional and aesthetic goals.
The firm’s leadership attributes much of this success to its team-driven culture and attention to detail at every stage of the construction process.
Leadership Perspective on the Milestone Year
Heather Shuster, Partner and Owner of Alair Decatur, expressed appreciation for the recognition and what it represents for the firm’s broader mission.
“2025 has been a great year for Alair Decatur,” Shuster said. “To receive affirmation that we’re on the right track—with the right focus for our team, for our clients, for our professional partners and collaborators, and for Atlanta’s intown neighborhoods—means everything to us.”
According to Shuster, the awards serve not only as external validation but also as motivation to continue refining the firm’s processes, investing in people, and strengthening relationships within the local design and construction community.
The Role of Industry Awards in Raising Standards
Much like prestigious recognitions in other creative fields—such as the Academy Awards or the Grammy Awards—the custom building and remodeling industry uses awards programs to celebrate innovation and excellence. These competitions play an important role in setting benchmarks for design quality, craftsmanship, and professional integrity.
By encouraging friendly competition among peer firms, industry awards help elevate standards across the entire sector. Judges typically evaluate entries based on criteria such as project complexity, problem-solving, construction quality, budget management, and overall client satisfaction.
Alair Decatur’s strong performance across multiple award programs in 2025 highlights its ability to consistently meet—and often exceed—these rigorous standards.
Strengthening the Alair Brand Locally and Nationally
The recognition earned by Alair Decatur also reflects positively on the broader Alair brand. As part of a national construction and development network, Alair Decatur’s achievements contribute to the organization’s reputation for professionalism, craftsmanship, and client-focused service.
Rob Cecil, President and CEO of Alair, praised the Decatur team’s accomplishments and leadership within the organization.
“Alair Decatur has been a beacon of success in 2025,” Cecil said. “They represent the Alair brand with the utmost professionalism.”
Such recognition underscores the firm’s role as a leading example within the Alair network, demonstrating how strong local leadership and execution can drive national recognition.
As Alair Decatur moves into the coming year, the momentum from 2025’s achievements provides a strong foundation for continued growth and innovation. While awards are a point of pride, the firm remains focused on what matters most: delivering exceptional homes, building lasting client relationships, and contributing positively to the neighborhoods it serves.
With a proven team, a collaborative mindset, and a commitment to quality, Alair Decatur is well positioned to build on its success and continue setting high standards within the residential construction industry.
