What Does Certification Mean to the Consumer
There Are Now Five Certification Designations Existing
The certification of a remodeling contractor under the certification program of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) is the association's recognition that the contractor has met certain criteria for experience, commitment to ethical conduct, and professionalism.
The designation is similar to the CKD acronym (Certified Kitchen Designer) and CLU (Certified Life Underwriter) in the insurance industry.
The individual who is certified has met various requirements including:
- Continuous full-time employment in the remodeling business for at least five years and currently employed by a firm that operates under the Code of Ethics adopted by NARI and its Certification Board.
- Demonstrated the knowledge and ability required to perform the remodeling functions directly related to the particular certification class.
- Showed competence in writing or directing the writing of job specifications in accordance with standards approved by the Certification Board and local codes.
- Satisfactorily completed written examinations on the basics of general remodeling contracting or have had these examinations waived based on continuous experience.
- Complied with all requests for documentation of experience and competence as well as adherence to NARI's Code of Ethics.
There are now five certification designations existing:
CKBR (Certified Kitchen & Bath Remodeler)
CLC (Certified Lead Carpenter)
CRA (Cerified Remodeler Associate)
CR (Certified Remodeler)
CRS (Certified Remodeler Specialist)
All NARI Certifications require the same high standards of performance and go through the same testing procedure. Working with NARI Certified Remodelers is a guarantee of excellence. Only truly experienced and dedicated professionals are able to earn the distinction of calling themselves Certified Remodelers. Milwaukee's chapter of NARI is proud to have the best and brightest individuals in the remodeling industry.
