The month of April not only brings showers but for George Cleary it’s also his birthday and the month he launched The Cleary Company! In addition to celebrating 29 years of remodeling in Columbus, OH, George and his Remodel-Design-Build Team are also celebrating two new national awards in 2023.
The first was on March 10th, when the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) announced their annual Contractor of the Year (CotY) awards in an online presentation. The second award came on April 5th at ActionCoach’s BizX America conference in Nashville TN.
NARI CotY Awards
The 2023 National winning project was in the category for Residential Exterior $100,000 to $200,000. The project, an Outdoor Living Space that included a screened porch addition, was designed and built for past clients for their newly purchased home.
The new covered outdoor space is perfect for the family of four to spend time relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying the gorgeous views of the adjacent and newly constructed backyard patio and pool. Features include full-height screens with sliding doors, beam and shiplap ceiling, gas fireplace, beverage bar with 2 mini fridges and storage, seating space and separate dining area, including a simple but functional outdoor kitchen.
What is a CotY Award?
The prestigious Contractor of the Year (CotY) awards are presented each year by the National Association of the Remodeling Industry. NARI members who demonstrate outstanding design and craftsmanship through their remodeling projects are chosen to be category winners in local, regional and national competitions. Members can nominate their projects thru an online portal for blind judging by industry peers selected by NARI executives.
CotY award-winning remodeling projects demonstrate exceptional design and craftsmanship in renovation. A diverse and impartial panel rates each project based on 5 criteria.
- To what degree were the expressed needs of the client met?
- To what degree does the project enhance the existing structure functionally?
- Is there evidence of superior craftsmanship?
- To what degree does the project enhance the existing structure aesthetically?
- Was there any innovative use of materials and/or methods of construction used in the project?
Projects entered into the National CotY competition are eligible for Regional awards among 48 categories in 7 regions nationwide. The National CotY awards are selected from the Regional winners in each category.
