Master Builders Association Pierce County (Master Builders Association of Pierce County) is proud to announce its 2019 Remodeling Excellence (REX) Award winners. The REX awards program recognizes outstanding remodeling projects throughout Pierce County. Categories included residential exterior remodels, kitchen and bath updates, additions, and entire home transformations, among others. This year, winners received awards in 17 categories.

With over 300 votes tallied leading up to the event, the winning project from the Kitchen $75,000- $140,000 category by Kingdom Builders Construction won the People’s Choice Award.
The awards were handed out during REX’s annual reception on May 21 at Tin Can Alley in Tacoma, Wash.
