2020 Winners Announced for the REX/T-REX (Remodeling Excellence and Trades Remodeling Excellence) Awards
The virtual celebration highlighted the best remodelers in the Puget Sound region.
BELLEVUE, Wash.—August 17, 2020—The Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties (MBAKS) hosted their Remodeling/Trades Remodeling Excellence (REX/T-REX) Awards virtually this year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The REX/T-REX Awards are presented by the Remodelers Council of MBAKS, the oldest Remodelers Council in the nation. Local remodelers and builders submitted their best projects of the year. They watched the ceremony at small viewing parties in compliance with Washington state’s Phase 2 guidelines and accepted their awards over camera.
REX/T-REX entries were judged on the following categories:
- Aesthetics—How is the remodel visually appealing?
- Special or unique design solutions—How was the space planned and was livability considered?
- Quality workmanship—What are the special features of the project and is there attention to detail?
- Use of appropriate building material—Does the remodel complement existing structure and design?
- Budgetary consideration—How did the project keep within the budget and still deliver client expectations?
- Challenges and obstacles—Were there any unexpected obstacles that called for adjustments?
