National Association of the Remodeling Industry

A new addition to our blogroll is the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI). They have a long-standing history and their core purpose is "to advance and promote the remodeling industry's professionalism, product and vital public purpose."

As a homeowner you can use their site to search for remodelers in your area and they give you tips for what questions to ask and what warning signs to be wary of when choosing your contractor.

Professionals are also encouraged to join NARI which they feel will give you more exposure and help in networking. You'll also be eligible to be considered as for the Contractor of the Year (COTY) award.
