REX Awards
Enjoy a colorful REX experience in 2025
The 2025 Remodeling Excellence (REX) Awards program features exciting changes to modernize and broaden our popular legacy categories. New in 2025:
- Kitchen, Addition, Outdoor Living and Major Remodel are divided by square footage rather than project cost
- Bath is now divided by type – ensuite/primary, secondary/full, ½ (Powder Room)
- ADU and DADU are now their own two separate categories
- Historical Remodel has a more specific definition
- Aging in Place changed to Universal Design with a broader definition
- Getaway Room/Basement changed to Specialty Space with sub-categories separating basement and non-basement
We are also bringing back popular categories new from last year:
- Best Solution/Problem Solved
- Most Artistically Aesthetic
- Best for Entertaining
The Remodeling Excellence (REX) and Trades Remodeling Excellence (T-REX) Awards are presented by the Remodelers Council of the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties, the oldest Remodelers Council in the nation. This annual event is a celebration of craftsmanship and remodeling expertise.
