What does NARI certification mean
to you?
Deciding
to remodel your home is a big decision. Outside of buying you home it may 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 / her business. And because remodelers are not eligible for
certification until they have been actively involved in the remodeling industry
for at least 5 years, you know that the NARI certified professional you hire
has had a number of years to develope the experience and skills that can only
be gained through extensive hands on practice. In the highly competitive
remodeling industry, isn't it good to know that your remodeler has a long term
commitment to his / her work.

or herself, their work, and their past professional conduct to the scrutiny of
NARI's certification board. Each certification candidate must provide an
ouline, and receive an acceptable review, detailing their hands on experience,
industry training, involvement in continuing education, technical skills,
practices in business management, as well as association and community
service.
- Committed to intensive study on a broad range of critical
industry issues.Most certification candidates participate in a formal study
group and spend eight to twelve weeks studying in preparation for the one day
written exam.
- Successfully completed a comprehensive written
examination covering critical subject areas such as sound business, management
practices, knowledge of building codes and construction law, plans and
specifications, proper and safe use of tools and equipment, safety, standards
of practice, math, and several special skill areas.
Once awarded their
certification, NARI certified remodeling professionals must meet annual
recertification requirements involving continuing education and participation
