MELVILLE, KY, February 04, 2012 /Building and Construction PR News/ -- The National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) announced the 151 Regional CotY (Contractor of the Year)TM Winners in the 2012 competition, of which, 12 winners are members of the NYC/LI Chapter, based in the Melville, NY area. Judging for the regional projects took place at NARI's national headquarters in Des Plaines, Illinois, in the second week of January. Regional CotY Winners will now advance as finalists at the national level.
Contractors from seven regions around the country vie for CotY Awards on an annual basis, and all regional winners will now be eligible for National CotY Awards and will be honored at NARI's Evening of ExcellenceSM on Saturday, April 21, 2012 at the Gaylord Texan Hotel and Conference Center, located in Grapevine (Dallas), Texas.
"We are so proud to have so many regional winners come out of this Chapter. We are blessed with many talented individuals", says Executive Director, Lesa Dresher.
All projects submitted for judging were an improvement or an addition to an existing structure, with the exception of one category, "Residential Exterior Specialty." Otherwise, new construction projects were not eligible.
A new recognition program was added to this year's competition, Universal Design Project Recognition Program. The program recognizes entries meeting universal design standards for various project types. The Green Recognition Program was also part of this year's CotY Awards. This program recognizes those projects that have green elements incorporated into them.
Competing projects were completed between July 1, 2010, and November 30, 2011, and were not submitted in previous NARI National contests. An impartial 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.
To be considered for a CotY Award, a company must be a NARI member in good standing. The entries of this year's competition totaled nearly $90 million worth of remodeling projects. NARI members represent an elite group of the approximately 800,000 companies and individuals in the U.S. identifying themselves as remodelers.
