FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Stryhn, LLC Named to Qualified Remodeler’s 2026 Top 500
Glenwood design-build firm ranks No. 441 nationally and No. 15 among Minnesota companies
GLENWOOD, Minn. — August 10, 2026 — Stryhn, LLC, a design-build and construction firm based in Glenwood, Minnesota, has been named to Qualified Remodeler magazine’s 2026 Top 500, ranking No. 441 nationally among the largest remodeling and home improvement companies in the United States.
Stryhn also ranks No. 15 among Minnesota companies appearing on the 2026 Top 500 list.
The recognition places the Glenwood-based company among a small group of remodeling firms nationwide. Industry data indicates there are more than 128,000 remodeling firms operating in the United States, while Minnesota has roughly 1,600 residential remodeling establishments. Against that broader industry backdrop, earning a position among the Top 500 nationally and ranking No. 15 among Minnesota firms on the list represents a significant milestone for Stryhn.
Established in 1978, Qualified Remodeler’s Top 500 is the remodeling industry’s longest-running recognition program of its kind. The annual list ranks the nation’s largest remodeling and home improvement companies based primarily on annual remodeling revenue.
For Stryhn, the recognition carries additional significance because the company has built and grown its business from Glenwood, a small community in west-central Minnesota, while competing for national recognition alongside companies headquartered in some of the largest metropolitan markets in the country.
“Being named to the Top 500 is something we are extremely proud of, but what makes it particularly meaningful to us is where we have done it,” said Brendon Stryhn of Stryhn, LLC. “We are building this company from Glenwood, Minnesota. We don’t have the population base or market size of Minneapolis, Chicago, Dallas or many of the other major markets represented on this list. To earn a place alongside companies operating at that level is something our entire team should be proud of.”
The Top 500 represents a broad cross-section of the remodeling industry, including design-build remodelers, full-service remodelers, kitchen-and-bath specialists, replacement contractors and other residential improvement companies.
While annual remodeling revenue drives the numerical ranking, the Top 500 application and recognition process examines more than revenue alone. Applicants provide information related to areas such as industry association involvement, industry awards, years in business, professional certifications and accreditations, and community service, in addition to installed remodeling volume.
For Brendon Stryhn, however, the people who deserve the greatest recognition for the accomplishment are Stryhn’s employees.
“Our employees deserve the credit for this accomplishment first and foremost. They are the ones who show up every day, solve problems, take care of our clients, work through challenging projects and continue pushing us to become a better company. You can have a vision for where you want a company to go, but without great people committed to making it happen, that vision doesn’t mean much. This recognition belongs to them.”
Stryhn also credits the clients who have trusted the company with their homes, businesses and projects throughout the years.
“We are incredibly thankful for our clients. Every project starts with someone trusting us with a significant investment in their home, business or property, and that trust is something we never take lightly. Our clients have given a small-town company the opportunity to take on great projects, grow our capabilities and continually raise the bar for what we can accomplish.”
The company also recognized its subcontractors, suppliers and trade partners, whose relationships and craftsmanship have played an important role in Stryhn’s growth.
“Construction is very much a team effort, and our subcontracting and trade partners are an extension of our team. We are fortunate to work with a lot of talented people and companies who care about the quality of their work and the finished product. Many of those relationships have been built over years, and they have absolutely contributed to Stryhn reaching this milestone.”
According to the 2026 Top 500 rankings, Stryhn is classified in the Design-Build Remodeling segment.
For Stryhn, earning national recognition while remaining headquartered in Glenwood is also evidence that the size of a company’s hometown does not necessarily determine the level at which it can compete.
“I think there is sometimes an assumption that you need to be located in a large metropolitan area to build a company that can compete nationally,” Stryhn said. “This shows that isn’t necessarily true. You can build something significant in a small community if you have good people, strong relationships, great clients and a willingness to keep improving.”
Stryhn sees the company’s first appearance on the Top 500 as both an accomplishment and a new benchmark for the future.
“We are very proud of being No. 441 nationally and No. 15 in Minnesota, but we also look at it as motivation,” Stryhn said. “Our goal is to continue investing in our employees, improving the experience we provide our clients, strengthening our partnerships and seeing how far we can take this company while continuing to call Glenwood home.”
