 | | Joseph & Melissa Irons accepting the MBA REX Award atop the Needle |
This past Saturday, June 23, 2012 at the top of the Space Needle, the Master Builders Association and the Remodeler Council presented awards at their annual banquet for Remodeling Excellence. Joseph and Melissa Irons, owners of Irons Brothers Construction, Inc. were one of 24 recipients to receive a Remodeling Excellence (REX) Award. The REX event honors the thought, planning, and hands-on work that goes into creating the spaces homeowners dream about building. The Space Needle provided a spectacular view and backdrop for this celebration of the vision, high-quality craftsmanship and above all, the successes within the remodeling industry. This is truly a collection of the best of the best in the remodeling industry of this region!
The award received this year was for a Bathroom Excellence project completed in 2011.
The winning project description was, "The owner of this Eastlake condo wanted to turn his dated master bathroom into one with a contemporary edge. His main objectives were to replace the bathtub with a walk-in shower and change the bi-fold linen closet into an open, functional storage area. We installed a natural stone "trough" sink with two faucets as an interesting twist on the typical two sink solution. Square modern edges are reflected throughout, including in the plumbing fixtures, stone tile design and two custom mirrors hanging over the vanity. The new elements and layout created a bathroom he is proud to showcase."
As Joseph stated when accepting the award, "each project truly is a team effort, it's our professionals in the field that perform the work as well as our company systems and designers concepts and ideas which bring each project to life."
Does this before picture look like your bathroom or similar? We can help transform your spaces and life.
Contact us to schedule a project consultation and learn more about bathroom remodeling.
We would like to thank the the designer on this project who was an intergral part of its success, Albee Interior Design and Vivid Interiors Photography for capturing its essence on film.
We also send a special thank you to project manager Tod Werner, carpenter Rhett Irons, and our wonderful client Kyle. Your involvement made this project a success.
