Any homeowner will tell you that once the dust settles on their home remodel project, it’s a skilled and qualified contractor that made all the difference.
Despite an era of DIY and HGTV, some home projects are best left to the experts. Luckily, the greater Sacramento area benefits from the local chapter of NARI, the National Association of the Remodeling Industry.
Members of NARI are trusted and experienced professionals in the business, united by the organization’s commitment to ethics, expertise and exceptional work. In addition to full-service contractors, members include design-build firms, manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, subcontractors, lenders and other related professionals who work in the remodeling field.
Additionally, NARI honors some of its members yearly with the Contractor of the Year (CotY) Awards. Chosen for their expertise in specific categories based on size of project, type of room, and budget, the selected members hope to generate future contracts from new clients impressed with their work. Not a traditional design competition, the CotY’s look at how the overall project met and exceeded the clients’ needs and goals. According to Brenda Kress at NARI, project binders are submitted and viewed by a panel of judges who are normally NARI members from other Chapters. “Using a point system, each entry is graded in 10 overall categories,” she says. “At the conclusion, points are added up and those in each category with the highest points win.” The judges also select a “Judges’ Choice” award based on their collective decision and not points.
This issue, we feature two recent CotY honorees, Henley Homes, Inc. in the “Entire Home Remodel” (250K to 500K) category and DreamBuilders Home Remodeling in the “Bathroom Remodel” (60K+) category.
