Remodeled Homes Tour
Each fall, homeowners throughout the greater Seattle area open the doors of their professionally-remodeled homes for the Master Builders Association Remodeled Homes Tour. The Remodeled Homes Tour showcases some of the area's finest remodels from members of the Remodelers Council of the Master Builders Association. The 2010 tour featured 20 quality projects including whole house remodels, an attic transformation, green building methods and much more. The homes on the tour reflected a huge variety of interior design and architectural trends. This tour featured a variety of charities where donations were being accepted at each home and were given to the charity of the homeowner or remodeler's choice. Also, remodelers were present at every house to answer questions, so at our Remodeled Homes Tour in Fall 2012, be sure to come by and talk to members and find out how you can make your home into the house of your dreams.
