EVENING OF
NARI Announces National CotY
(Contractor of the Year) Award Winners During Virtual
The CotY Awards are the highest form of recognition by
industry leaders and peers. National CotY Award Winners
competed in 48 categories ranging from residential and
commercial, to residential landscaping.
A panel of industry experts anonymously selected winners
based on their projects' functionality, aesthetics, craftsmanship,
innovation and degree of difficulty. "All of the nominees' designs
were exceptional and brought creativity and design best practices
to a new level," said NARI CEO, David R. Pekel, MCR, UDCP,
CAPS. "I'm sure it was difficult for NARI's judging panel to choose
the best of the best."
Two NARI member remodeling companies received multiple
awards. Mom's Design Build of Shakopee, Minnesota won three
2020 National CotY Awards: Commercial Specialty, Residential
Landscape Design/Outdoor Living $100,000 to $250,000, and
Residential Landscape Design/Outdoor Living over $250,000.
"We've been sharpened by time, trials, and triumphs," said Jim
Sweeney, Founder of Mom's Design Build. "It gives us great joy to
extend that commitment to the people and projects we serve, so
the affirmation from these awards is deeply heartfelt by our whole
team and sharpens us all the more."
The Cleary Company of Columbus, Ohio won two national
awards: Residential Historical Renovation/Restoration Under
$250,000 and Commercial Interior. "In the last two years, we
have had the honor of winning three NARI National Contractor of
the Year Awards," said Aaron Enfinger, CR, General Manager of
The Cleary Company. "Winning these awards has validated the
hard work of our entire team."
NARI members from across the United States were able to
submit projects for consideration in the annual award program.
NARI received more than 500 entries of remodeling projects
valued at more than $138 million before selecting 196 Regional
Winners and 31 Regional Team Winners in February. The National
Winners were chosen from Regional CotY Winners.
