National Association of the Remodeling Industries

Penn Contractors is proud to be a member of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI). NARI's mission is to provide the screening and assurances that allow you to feel at ease from the moment you first meet with Penn. We feel that NARI's website says it best:

Deciding to remodel your home... may be the single biggest investment you make. You need to know that the remodeling contractor you choose is a full-time, dedicated remodeling professional. NARI's certification program offers this assurance through its extensive screening, training and testing process. In addition, NARI certification programs require on-going education and training to maintain certification status.

We can address coding, standards and safety issues unfamiliar to most homeowners. Some clients have even commented that improvements made by a CAPS professional was a more affordable solution than moving to an assisted living facility.
