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) to it’s members who have demonstrated outstanding design and craftsmanship through their remodeling projects. Members can nominate their projects thru an online portal for judging by peers selected by NARI Executives outside their local chapter or region.
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?
- Were innovative used of materials and/or methods of construction used in the project?
Projects entered into the National CotY competition are eligible to win a Regional award among 48 categories in 7 regions nationwide. The National CotY awards are selected from those Regional winners in each category.
