Five One Eight Contracting Wins 2026 IABE National Excellence Award

Five One Eight Contracting, LLC, a residential and commercial contracting company serving Maryland, Washington D.C., and Virginia, has been named a 2026 National Excellence Award winner by the International Association for Business Excellence (IABE) -- a distinction earned by fewer than 1% of businesses evaluated nationwide.

Cheyenne, Wyoming, United States, 18th Aug 2026 -- Unlike City or Regional honors, the National Excellence Award is reserved for organizations whose standard of operation stands out not just in their home market, but across the entire country. To qualify, applicants must clear performance benchmarks across five published criteria -- Digital Presence, Customer Reputation, Operational Standing, Industry Tenure, and Professional Integrity -- placing them ahead of more than 97% of businesses evaluated nationally. Five One Eight Contracting met every threshold required for national-level recognition.

Led by owner Matthew Solel, Five One Eight Contracting offers a full range of residential and commercial services, including kitchen and bathroom remodeling, home additions, decks and patios, custom saunas, trim carpentry and custom built-ins, EV charging installation, and general contracting, along with work as a Pella Platinum Elite Certified Contractor -- a certification held by fewer than 1% of contractors nationwide. The company operates two offices, a main location and showroom in Cockeysville, Maryland, and a second office serving Washington D.C. and Virginia out of Tysons Corner, and has built its reputation across the Baltimore, Annapolis, Washington D.C., and Virginia region.

The companys approach centers on organization and communication as much as craftsmanship. Clients are informed in advance of any anticipated issues on a project and how they will be handled, removing the surprises that often come with home renovation work. That approach has translated into a strong pattern of repeat business, with multiple clients returning to Five One Eight for additional projects after their first renovation and referring the company directly to friends and family.

That reputation is reflected in the recognition Five One Eight has earned outside of IABE as well. The company is a HomeAdvisor Screened & Approved contractor, a six-time Best of Houzz award winner (2016 through 2022), and holds a 5-out-of-5-star rating on Houzz, where it also carries a Recommended designation. Five One Eight also offers flexible project financing through a partnership with Synchrony, giving homeowners a way to move forward with larger renovation projects without the full cost landing at once.
