Certified Remodeler Designation

For the last decade, NARI's Certification Program has been providing the remodeling industry with a formalized standard of expertise, knowledge, and ethical conduct among professional remodelers. The NARI Certification Program offers a measure of skill and expertise valued not only by other remodelers, but by consumers. Prized by those who have achieved the designation,
certification programs identify remodelers who have undergone a detailed review and testing in areas of business management, ethical conduct, and technical skills.

To many professional remodelers, NARI Certification offers one of their most valuable marketing tools - assurance that the consumer is choosing a professional with years of experience, dedication to ongoing training, and a commitment to ethical conduct. NARI now has five distinct designations, "Certified Remodeler" (CR), "Certified Remodeler Specialist" (CRS), "Certified Remodeler Associate" (CRA), “Certified Kitchen and Bath Remodeler” (CKBR) and "Certified Lead Carpenter" (CLC). With the remodeling industry now surpassing new home construction, being a member of NARI is more important than ever.
