2018 Award Winner – 1st Place Large Bathroom

NKBA Puget Sound Chapter

Once a Street of Dreams home, this master bathroom was cloaked in granite, mirror, and carpet. It was ready for an update.

Since this shower can be seen from the hall, the client wanted to make a statement and was driven to simplify the rest to get it! This shower is a focal point with the dramatic patterned tile, double shower heads and custom his/her niches. To fit the budget the cabinetry was upcycled with taller toekicks, added open shelving, and a fresh coat of paint. For further interest, we added a simple, yet elegant board-and-batten detail around the tub and trimmed each mirror.

Nip Tuck Remodeling rank’s #216 on this years 550 list!

The Remodeling 550, an annual feature since 2009, profiles the nation’s biggest full-service remodelers, replacement contractors, insurance restoration firms, and franchise operations.

Hard work certainly has paid off for this year’s Remodeling 550. The top 300 full-service remodelers earned 8% more in revenue in 2017 than they did in 2016. The top 150 replacement contracting firms earned a whopping 41% more last year than in 2016.

Not only are these firms bumping up their revenues, but they’re also actively creating better places to work. One way they’re doing that is by improving benefits: In 2018, more companies offer the 13 benefits we list in our survey than did in 2017. While benefits aren’t the only factors contributing to employee satisfaction at a company, benefit packages are a good indicator of how healthy the companies themselves are: more money, more benefits.

2018 REX Award Winner Kitchen Excellence Less than $50,000

Awarded by Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish County

We were called in to give a very simple but impactful update to this Bothell, WA home. The existing kitchen was dark and the range hood was a big trouble spot.  Overall, the layout of the kitchen was good, but the aesthetic was dated and not in line with our young client’s décor preference.

We painted all the kitchen cabinets in place with Benjamine Moore, refinished the existing hardwoods with a rich, dark stain and replaced countertops with an updated white quartz & finished it off with subway tile.

We made some minor modifications to the space to update it such as deleting the old built in desk , we dismantled the existing range hood, shortened it up by about 8 inches and dressed it up with a new flat front door & some rift oak stained to match the hardwood floor. The fluted legs on the island got wrapped for a clean, modern look and we added some new pendants to the island.

2017 REX Award Winner – Major Remodel Partial House/Addition over $250,000

Awarded by the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties

Renovating a waterfront house is all about enhancing lifestyle and the views, and this home is a perfect example of both.  Built in 1937 and last renovated in 2004, the existing kitchen was tucked away in the center of the house with it’s only window above the sink looking out at the neighbor’s home on the side of the house. Today, as we walk up to the entrance and through the front door, we are welcomed by warmth, well-appointed spaces, and attention to detail in every nook and cranny.

2017 NKBA – Other Room/Space – 2nd Place

Awarded by the National Kitchen & Bath Association – Puget Sound Chapter

Our goal was to honor the 1937 home with updated finishes while keeping as many original details as possible, both inside and out.  In this addition, we reconfigured the main floor, relocated the original kitchen into an addition, and created a walk-in pantry, ultimately creating a space worthy of entertaining.
