Each year, the Building Industry Association of Washington (BIAW) recognizes the state’s most outstanding remodeling projects at its Excellence in Remodeling Awards in Olympia, showcasing quality craftsmanship in a variety of categories and price ranges.

Titan Builders of Sequim took home three awards this year, BIAW representatives announced on July 9: Kitchen $45,001-$75,000; Kitchen $75,001-$140,000; and, Exterior Over $40,001.

In the Kitchen $45,001-$75,000 division, Titan Builders partnered with designer Maddie Reynolds on a small remodel for clients in Sequim. The owners chose Titan Builders to modernize the mother-in-law suite kitchen, bathroom and bedroom.

“New cabinetry, open shelving with under-cabinet lighting, butcher-block countertops, new appliances, updated flooring and trim throughout really bring this small space new life,” BIAW representatives noted.
