2006 Contractor of the Year Awards


Each year, Minnesota remodelers are recognized for their outstanding local remodeling projects with Contractor of the Year (COTY) Awards.

The COTY Awards were established in 1997 to foster a sense of pride and achievement among members of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) and to increase public awareness of NARI professionals. Remodeling companies small and large have said that winning a COTY Award is a major factor in enhancing their image within the industry and with prospective customers, and is a morale booster for employees.

The 10th Annual COTY Awards ceremony was November 14 at McNamara Alumni Center. Entrants were judged by a panel of remodeling professionals hand-picked by a NARI of Minnesota committee. All entries are judged on functionality, problem-solving, aesthetics, craftsmanship, innovation, degree of difficulty and entry presentation.

The National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) is the only national not-for-profit association dedicated to solely promoting the remodeling industry. Representing the largest network of professional remodelers in the United States, NARI has more than 7,000 members. As the voice of the industry, NARI’s purpose is to establish and maintain a firm commitment to developing and sustaining programs that expand and unite the remodeling industry; to ensure the industry’s growth and security; to encourage ethical conduct, sound business practices and professionalism in the remodeling industry; and to present NARI as the recognized authority in the industry.

NARI members are remodeling contractors, designers and architects, design-build firms, specialty contractors, suppliers and manufacturers, lending institutions, utilities, subcontractors and publishers of information about remodeling.

NARI of Minnesota is one of the strongest and most active NARI chapters in the United States, with more than 300 members and companies.
