Certified Remodelers

NARI Greater Cleveland is proud to recognize its members who have achieved PRO certification.

IDENTIFYING THE BEST OF THE BEST

Those members of our association who have taken the time and energy to obtain their certification, have distinguished themselves in the remodeling industry.

Being certified provides remodeling professionals with formalized standards of technical expertise, business management and ethical conduct. In order to sit for the certification examination, a contractor is required to have a minimum of five years of continual service in the remodeling industry, complete a qualification matrix detailing their background and experience, and pass a series of industry-related exams.

In order to remain certified, a member must participate in a combination of continuing education, association activities, community service and /or other related activities to be eligible for annual recertification.

NARI’s continued goal is to help professionalize the home improvement industry, while serving as an ally to homeowners. Certification is yet another means of achieving this goal. NARI Greater Cleveland is proud to recognize its members who achieved NARI certification.
