2005 CotY Awards

NARI’s annual Contractor of the Year (CotY) Awards were established in 1997 to foster a sense of pride and accomplishment among its members and to increase public awareness of NARI professionals. Companies—from one-person shops to the largest remodeling firms—report that winning this award is a major factor in enhancing their image within the industry and with prospective customers, and is a morale booster for their employees.

The ninth annual CotY Awards ceremony was held on November 8, 2005 at The Metropolitan in Golden Valley. Contestants were judged by a panel of remodeling professionals hand-picked by NARI of Minnesota’s Marketing Committee. All entries are judged on functionality, problem-solving, aesthetics, craftsmanship, innovation, degree of difficulty and entry presentation.
