NARI Atlanta Honors Metro Atlanta Home Remodelers with 23 CotY Awards

NARI Atlanta, the local chapter of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry, has named its 2016 CotY (Contractor of the Year) award winners. Awards were presented at a black-tie optional gala Dec. 13 at Atlanta’s King Plow Arts Center. Projects by NARI members were honored in 23 categories highlighting residential remodeling work including new or upgraded baths and kitchens, remodeled home interiors and exteriors, additions, landscape design, remodeled basements and whole-home renovations.

“The CotY is our most prestigious award, and signifies the highest professional recognition from industry peers,” said Jesse Morado, executive director of NARI Atlanta. “Each year, NARI members in good standing with the organization submit their projects for a panel of NARI professionals outside of Atlanta to judge. Awards are given for outstanding work of the highest quality in each award category. This is NARI Atlanta’s 24th annual CotY awards program, and our winners now have the option of also competing on the regional and national levels.”
