NARI National headquarters works daily on monitoring federal and regulatory activities for all its members in an effort to preserve the security of their livelihood.

 

Consumer Awareness
NARI continually works to educate the consumer about the benefits of hiring a NARI professional through literature, its Web site and press releases. Articles can also be found in Woman's Day special interest publications and Qualified Remodeler Magazine.

 

Certification and Education
Certification and education of qualified remodeling contractors is a way to recognize the professional standards of the trade and to continually improve the level of business practices within that industry. The Certified Remodeler (CR), Certified Remodeler Associate or Specialist (CRA/CRS) and Certified Lead Carpenter (CLC) designations show which contractors have sought ongoing education, established high professional and ethical standards, have the ability to perform and be knowledgeable in all aspects of remodeling functions and demonstrate proven competence.
