New Certifications: Universal Design Certified Remodeler (UDCR) and the Master Certified Remodeler (MCR)

The National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) announced two new certification programs.  The Universal Design Certified Remodeler (UDCR) and the Master Certified Remodeler (MCR) will both launch in the Fall 2009.  

The UDCR certification correlates with the Universal Remodeling Course and recognizes remodeling contractors with expertise in applying Universal Design Principles to residential remodeling projects.

The MCR program will recognize those individuals with minimum of ten continuous years as a Certified Remodeler (CR), have at least one additional current NARI certification (CKBR, CLC, or GCP) and have demonstrated chapter, community, and/or remodeling industry involvement.

Consumers can also call the NARI National hotline at 800-611-NARI and request a free copy of NARI's brochure, "How to Select a Remodeling Professional," or visit www.nari.org or www.RemodelToday.com and click on the homeowner's guide for more information.
