The National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) has named 151 regional CotY (Contractor of the Year) winners from the 2012 competition. Judging for the regional projects took place at NARI’s national headquarters in Des Plaines, IL.
Contractors from seven regions around the country compete for CotY awards on an annual basis. National winners will be honored at NARI’s Evening of Excellence on April 21, 2012 in Grapevine, TX.
All projects submitted for judging were an improvement or an addition to an existing structure, with the exception of one category, “Residential Exterior Specialty.” Additionally, a new award was added to this year’s competition, the Universal Design project recognition program. A panel of judges, experts within the remodeling industry and associated fields, selected winners based on each entrant’s binders, which include “before and after” photography and project descriptions. Judging focused on problem solving, functionality, aesthetics, craftsmanship, innovation, degree of difficulty and entry presentation.
