Achievement in Consumer Excellence
NARI-CO ACE winners recognize members with a client survey average of at least 3.5 out of 4 points. Consumer referrals are the strongest form of leads for remodeling contractors. Who more likely would a consumer believe, but another consumer who has experienced the services first-hand? The Cleary Company is proud to have received this award for 19 years in a row!
2 x Contractor of the Year
Team Cleary has won a total 33 NARI-CO CotY awards since their first in 2007! George, always filled with excitement and joy for his team says, “Competition for the CotYs is always fierce. We really do incredible work and it’s a true honor to have that work honored and recognized by our peers.”
What is a CotY Award?
The prestigious Contractor of the Year (CotY) awards are presented each year by the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) to its members who have demonstrated outstanding design and craftsmanship through their remodeling projects. Members can nominate their projects through an online portal for judging by peers selected by NARI Executives outside their local chapter or region.
CotY award-winning remodeling projects demonstrate exceptional design and craftsmanship in renovation. A diverse and impartial panel rates each project based on 5 criteria.
- To what degree were the expressed needs of the client met?
- To what degree does the project enhance the existing structure functionally?
- Is there evidence of superior craftsmanship?
- To what degree does the project enhance the existing structure aesthetically?
- Were innovative used of materials and/or methods of construction used in the project?
