ertification is credibility. It is a testimonial of a contractor’s
commitment to the industry and his or her profession.
The NARI certification program establishes professional standards for the remodeling industry. To obtain the Certified Remodeler (CR), Certified Remodeler Specialist (CRS), Certified Kitchen & Bath Remodeler (CKBR) or Certified Remodeler (CRA) designations, remodeling contractors must have a minimum of five years continuous service in the remodeling industry and must study for several months before completing an intensive half-day exam. The exams focus on both construction and business practices. The newest certification is the Green Certified Professional (GCP) designation for those contractors committed to green remodeling, as well as Universal Design Certified Remodeler (UDCR) for contractors committed to universal remodeling. Kansas City NARI is fortunate to have two Master Certified Remodelers (MCR), awarded only to those members who have had two certifications for 10 or more years. These certified designations are marks of dedication to the industry and a contractor’s continuing quest for knowledge. Today’s consumers are better educated. They insist that the person they invite into their home __ who they invite to literally change their home __ has more than just a few years of experience. The NARI designations are an assurance that the consumer is choosing a professional with years of experience, dedication to ongoing training and a commitment to ethical conduct. The Certified Remodeler (CR) and Certified Kitchen & Bath Remodeler (CKBR) designations are two of the most sought-out certifications in the remodeling industry. The following Kansas City NARI members have obtained the CR, CKBR, CRS, CRA, GCP and/or UDCR designations (effective 1/1/11): Mike Dodd, MCR, CKBR, GCP LifeWise Renovations John Roach, MCR, CKBR Roach Brothers Construction Inc.

REMY __ Remodel of the Year: Local Remodeling Projects Honored by NARI
K
ansas City NARI announces the winners of the annual REMY Awards for 2010. The 23 remodeling projects completed by NARI professionals represent some of the highest-quality projects in the Kansas City metropolitan area. The NARI
REMY Awards is held annually to honor contractors for their craftsmanship, professionalism and commitment to excellence in remodeling. Entries for the 2010 program were judged on a 100-point system that included project overview, before-and-after photos, budget considerations, overall aesthetic appeal and communication with the homeowner. Winners had to score at least 85 points. All Star Awards were presented to those entries that achieved 94 or more points. Each entry included a homeowner survey that was worth 15 points. Homeowners judged the remodeling contractor in three areas—completion of contract, communication and finished product. Remodeling contractors from the Idaho NARI chapter judged the entries this year. Best of Show Awards were presented to four of the 23 projects. These four remodeling projects (seen on next page) were top winners in four categories, Under $75,000, $75,001-$150,000, $150,001-$250,000 and Over $250,000. Winners were chosen based on total points scored, and all four of the Best of Show projects scored 93 or more points.

I have found Design Sherpa to be the marketing manager I needed for all these years. They are very prompt with their callbacks, checking in weekly to see how things are going, and very timely with their updates to my blog site. I don’t have the time to continually research content to post to my site. They provide fresh articles on a weekly basis that pertains to my business and is helpful to my readers. The links they provide to Facebook is also a big plus in getting more people familiar with my company.
