The New American Remodel® 2026 (TNAR) is one of the two official show homes of the NAHB International Builders’ Show® (IBS). TNAR 2026 Phase 2 is well underway with the Phil Kean Design Group leading the remodel. Right now, crews are wrapping up demolition and making big progress behind the scenes.
It’s All About the MEPs
All our MEP trades — mechanical, electrical and plumbing — are busy with rough-ins and every window and door in the home is being replaced. We received the new Jeld-Wen window package late last week and crews are already on site removing the existing products and prepping the openings. In about a week, the home will be ready for rough inspections. After that, it’s on to insulation and drywall.
Standing Out from the Rest
One standout feature of this remodel is the use of Omega Flex gas piping. Unlike rigid pipe, Omega Flex is a flexible system, perfect for remodeling because it can be easily navigated around existing structures. In this home, it will supply gas to the outdoor BBQ grill in the summer kitchen, power the backup generator and feed the tankless water heaters to provide hot water throughout the property.
We’re Up for the Challenge
Remodeling always comes with its share of challenges — the “unknowns” you uncover once you start pulling things apart. Flexibility and problem-solving are key and our team have been navigating those surprises smoothly. With drywall just around the corner, we’ll soon shift into installing beautiful new finishes.
We’re on track to meet our deadlines and each step brings us closer to revealing this incredible transformation.
