MARIN COUNTY, CA - March 11, 2025 - As the construction and remodeling industries mark Women in Construction Week from March 2–8, a longtime advocate for excellence in home renovation, Judi Cooper, has been named to the Women in Remodeling Honor Roll, an initiative led by the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI).
Cooper, founder and principal designer of Kitchens Inside Out, has spent decades refining Marin County’s approach to kitchen and bathroom remodeling, combining innovative design with a deep understanding of functionality. With a reputation for creating spaces that are as practical as they are aesthetically compelling, she has built a career rooted in both craftsmanship and client collaboration.
Selected for her contributions to the remodeling industry, Cooper joins a cohort of women being recognized for their leadership and impact. The honor comes as women continue to gain ground in construction-related fields—an industry that remains largely male-dominated but has seen notable growth in female representation. As of 2024, women make up 11.2% of the total construction workforce, with leadership roles steadily increasing.
A Shifting Landscape in Construction and Remodeling
The Women in Remodeling Honor Roll, set to be published on March 10, 2025, on NARI’s official Facebook page, aims to highlight the contributions of female professionals in an industry where progress has been steady but challenges persist. While the majority of women in construction remain in office or sales roles, the presence of women in hands-on trades and leadership positions is increasing.
Cooper’s work at Kitchens Inside Out is emblematic of that shift. Based in Marin County, the firm specializes in custom kitchen and bath remodels, blending timeless design with modern innovation. Cooper’s influence extends beyond her own projects—she has played a key role in educating clients on the remodeling process, helping homeowners navigate the complexities of renovations with confidence.
While recognition from NARI highlights her individual achievements, Cooper sees the honor as part of a larger movement. “Women bring valuable perspectives to remodeling and construction,” she said. “From project management to design execution, our presence is growing, and that benefits both the industry and the homeowners we serve.”
A Legacy of Thoughtful Design in Marin County
In a region known for its appreciation of architecture and sustainable design, Cooper’s contributions have left a lasting mark. Kitchens Inside Out has been instrumental in shaping kitchens that reflect the way Marin County homeowners live—whether that means incorporating natural materials, maximizing small spaces, or designing for multi-generational living.
As remodeling professionals nationwide celebrate Women in Construction Week, Cooper’s recognition underscores the evolving role of women in an industry once considered impenetrable. With ongoing initiatives like the Million Women in Construction project aiming to double the number of women in trades over the next decade, industry leaders hope to continue breaking barriers and fostering inclusivity.
For now, Cooper remains focused on what she does best—helping Marin County homeowners create spaces that balance beauty with functionality.
