National Association of the Remodeling Industry - Madison Chapter

About Us

"The National Association of the Remodeling Industry brings together people who work in and with the remodeling industry, belonging and growing by learning from one another. As professionals, we create an exceptional experience for the remodeling consumer."

As the voice of the remodeling industry, NARI has an inclusive, encompassing purpose: to establish and maintain a firm commitment to developing and sustaining programs that expand and unite the remodeling industry; to ensure the industry's growth and security; to encourage ethical conduct, sound business practices and professionalism in the remodeling industry; and to present NARI as the recognized authority in the remodeling industry.

Members of NARI are full service contractors, design-build firms, manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, subcontractors, lenders and other related professionals who work in the remodeling field. NARI is committed to educating both trade professionals and remodeling-ready homeowners. NARI does this by reaching out to a diverse audience in a variety of formats including education, training, publications and programs.

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.

"The National Association of the Remodeling Industry is dedicated to being the best resource for knowledge and training in the remodeling industry. Together we help construct the dreams in people's lives."

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 six distinct designations, "Certified Remodeler" (CR), "Certified Remodeler Specialist" (CRS), "Certified Remodeler Associate" (CRA), "Certified Kitchen and Bath Remodelers" (CKBR), "Certified Lead Carpenter" (CLC), and "Green Certified Professional" (GCP). With the remodeling industry now surpassing new home construction, being a member of NARI is more important than ever.
