Why the Remodeling Excellence (REX) Awards Matter
The Remodeling Excellence Awards have become one of Pierce County’s most respected industry recognitions, honoring projects that raise expectations for quality, customer experience, and construction standards.
Each year, participating remodelers submit completed projects to be evaluated across categories that reflect the wide range of services available to homeowners and commercial clients. From kitchens and baths to historic restoration and whole-home transformations, these awards showcase what is possible when experienced professionals collaborate with skilled trade partners.
This year also introduced an exciting milestone for future growth and visibility.
The Master Builders Association of Pierce County announced a new partnership with Premier Media Group that will expand exposure for Remodelors Council members and award recipients through magazine features, social media promotion, and additional marketing opportunities.
