FERNWOOD, Miss. — Modern Mill, a manufacturer of sustainably engineered building products, announced today that ACRE Trim has been named a winner in the Sustainability Spotlights category of Good Housekeeping’s 2027 Home Reno Awards. This marks the second consecutive year Modern Mill has been named a Home Reno winner, following ACRE Shiplap Siding’s recognition in the 2026 awards. The full list of 2027 Home Reno Award winners is available at goodhousekeeping.com/homereno2027.
Made from upcycled rice hulls at a zero-waste facility in Mississippi, ACRE is a 100% tree-free wood alternative that combines the warmth and workability of wood with the low-maintenance convenience of composites. ACRE is the first and only stainable composite on the market, available pre-finished, including in Modern Mill’s Signature Stain Collection colors — Biloxi, Walnut, Amory, ACRE Black, Laurel, Montauk Gray, and Mahogany.
ACRE Trim arrives at the jobsite ready to install with a uniform finish, eliminating the need for field finishing regardless of season or weather. It resists water, weather, pests, and rot, and is manufactured without phenol, formaldehyde, adhesives, VOCs, or forever chemicals.
“Being recognized by Good Housekeeping for a second year in a row reinforces that ACRE continues to check all the boxes for sustainability, beauty, and durability,” said Chris Guimond, Founder and CEO at Modern Mill. “We’re honored that ACRE has been named in the Home Reno Awards program in back-to-back years. It reflects our commitment to keeping pace with the ever-changing needs of the homebuilding industry, and we look forward to continuing to meet them.”
