In 1988 the National Association of the Remodeling Industry Certification Program began providing the remodeling industry with its first formalized standard of expertise, knowledge and ethical conduct among professional remodelers. Today, NARI Certification Programs continue to offer a measure of skill and expertise valued not only by other professional remodelers, but also by consumers. Prized by those who have achieved the designation these programs identify remodelers who have subjected themselves to detailed review and testing in areas of business management, ethical conduct and technical skills. For professional remodelers, NARI Certification offers the consumer assurance that he or she is choosing a professional with years of experience, dedication to ongoing training and a commitment to ethical conduct.
