2014 has been off to a great start here at Board & Vellum. If there is such thing as a "tipping point" it definitely feels like we've found it. While we work away at expanding our office space, adding some great people to our team, and continue to work on an exciting mix of retail, residential, commercial, and multi-family projects, it is exciting to pause and get excited about press we are receiving.

While a recent article on the Seattle Box Project has gone "viral" (I believe I'm supposed to add, "as the kids say", correct?), we've seen our Houzz.com subscribers go a little nuts and show us some love. We're proud to announce that Board & Vellum has been selected to win not one but two Best of Houzz Awards for 2014.

We've been selected as the Best of Houzz 2014 in Design and, more importantly to us, in Customer Satisfaction. Knowing that our clients and Houzz users are happy with our work and service means the world to us. We pride ourselves in treating our clients as we'd want anyone we hired to treat us. It is just that simple.

According to Houzz, the Best Of Houzz award is given in two categories: Customer Satisfaction and Design. Customer Satisfaction honors are determined by a variety of factors, including the number and quality of client reviews a professional received in 2013. Design award winners’ work was the most popular among the more than 16 million monthly users on Houzz, known as “Houzzers,” who saved more than 230 million professional images of home interiors and exteriors to their personal "ideabooks" via the Houzz site, iPad/iPhone app and Android app. Winners will receive a “Best Of Houzz 2014” badge on their profiles, showing the Houzz community their commitment to excellence. These badges help homeowners identify popular and top-rated home professionals in every metro area on Houzz.

Here's the official press release. (How awesome is it that we get to actually have press releases!)
