What does NARI Certification mean to you?

Deciding to remodel your home is a big decision. Outside of buying your home, it may be the single biggest investment you make. You need to know that the remodeling contractor you choose is a full-time, dedicated remodeling professional. NARI's certification program offers this assurance through its extensive screening and testing process.Only full-time, professional remodeling contractors are eligible for certification by NARI. You can be assured that any time you hire a NARI certified remodeling contractor, you are hiring an individual who has made a strong commitment to the professionalism of the remodeling industry and to his or her business. And because remodelers are not eligible for certification until they have been actively involved in the remodeling industry for at least five years, you know that the NARI certified remodeling professional you hire has had a number of years to develop the experience and skills that can only be gained through extensive hands-on practice.

Isn't it good to know that your remodeling contractor has a long-term commitment to his or her work?

This Week's Poll

How involved do you want to be in your remodeling project

  • Very involved. I have drawn my own sketch of what I want the space to look like
  • Mostly involved. I would like to make all my own product and color selections.
  • Somewhat. I'd like guidance from an expert to help me narrow my choices.
  • Not much. I will approve choices made by my remodeling contractor or designer.
  • Not at all. I will be out of town while my project is completed.
