Jackson Remodeling was recognized with a 2011 REX Award for "best kitchen $125K-$175K" at a ceremony in Newcastle on June 18. 

The Madrona kitchen is the handiwork of lead carpenter Willie Johnston, and features design by Michelle Molloy.

High tech lighting, "lacewood cabinets", an innovative sliding counter for the espresso machine, and dedicated work and storage areas for the most gourmet of cooks.  It's no wonder the Master Builders Association picked this kitchen as "best of the best".

Congratulations, Jackson Remodeling team!

Jackson Remodeling LLC is now fully compliant with the new EPA requirements that take effect April 22, 2010. 

Building on our commitment to create healthier homes for our clients, we have taken steps to become a Certified Firm.  And after completing 8 hours of training with EPA trainers, each and every team member is now a Certified Renovator.  This makes Jackson Remodeling qualified to work on older homes in ways that are safer for the residents, especially children.

Most of the new requirements have to do with keeping a clean job site and protecting the home from dust - things we have always done.  But we learned a trick or two, and are already incorporating these new procedures into our remodels.

Jackson Remodeling has been doing green remodels since 2001, but until now have still remodeled with traditional methods and materials as well. No more. In June, Jackson announced that green will now be the ONLY way they do business. Once they complete a few jobs already in design, the firm will simply not build with materials or methods unless they are sustainable, efficient, and healthy.

May, 2006 - Jackson Remodeling was awarded one of the industry's highest honors May 18th, when they were added to Remodeling Magazine's prestigious BIG 50 list.
