NARI Announces National CotY™ (Contractor of the Year) Award Winners During Virtual “2020 Evening of Excellence”

Wheeling, IL – April 29, 2020 - The National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) announced the National CotY Award Winners and Achievement Award Winners at a virtual ceremony Friday night, April 24, streamed live via Facebook.
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 the functionality, aesthetics, craftsmanship, innovation, and degree of difficulty of their projects. “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.”
