Legacy Roofing Wins 'Remodeling Excellence Award'
Redmond roofing company's complex roofing and remodel project earns top honors from local Master Builders Association
 August, 2005 - Legacy Home Improvement, a division of Redmond, Wash.-based Legacy Roofing, was awarded a coveted Remodeling Excellence Award (REX) by The Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish County. At the June 18 local REX awards banquet, Legacy walked away with top honors in the "Major remodel $100,000-$250,000" category for an exterior remodel project completed on a historic Bellevue, Wash. home.
A panel comprised of local and national remodelers, media experts and architects, selected Legacy as a REX award recipient based on the complexity and difficulty of the job, as well as the overall impact of the improvement. The $127,000 project, completed in November 2004, successfully updated the exterior of an 1890's barn-style home to more closely resemble a classic chalet without drastically modifying the existing architecture, per the homeowner's request.
To achieve the desired look, Legacy first replaced the barn shake roof with stunning Tru-Slate (real slate), complete with copper flashings. Given the home was more than 100 years old, required specialty materials and had a remarkably steep 60 degree roof pitch, the remodel was a challenging project suitable only for a company with Legacy's experience, which includes 16-years of roof repair and installation and a history of exceptional safety standards.
In addition to the roof, Legacy revamped the structure's exterior by using a combination of Bevel siding, new shingles and stonework, while retaining some of the existing barn shakes at the homeowners wish. The combination of materials complimented the new roof, while seamlessly integrating the old look with the new. Completing the exterior overhaul, Legacy re-built a hanging deck above the entry utilizing clear cedar and copper tubing.
This year's REX award is Legacy's first. In all, 12 members of the local Master Builders Association, to which Legacy has belonged since 1989, received honors at the REX award banquet in one of 24 competitive categories.
