REMODELERS The Measure of a Great Remodeler
REMODELING A HOME IS A BIG DECISION.
Outside of buying a home, it may be the single-biggest investment a homeowner makes. One needs to know that the remodeling contractor chosen is a full-time, dedicated remodeling professional. NARI’s certification programs offer this assurance through an extensive screening and testing process.
Only full-time remodeling professionals are eligible for NARI certification. A NARI Certified Remodeler is an individual who has made a strong commitment to his/ her business. Remodelers are not eligible for certification until they have been actively involved in the remodeling industry for a minimum of five years, so you are assured that the NARI Certified Remodeler has had time to develop the experience and skills that can only be gained through extensive hands-on practice.
NARI certification is a challenging process, requiring extensive knowledge of the industry and a commitment to professional conduct. Even highly experienced and skilled remodelers find the screening and testing process formidable.
