Earlier this month, Harth Builders was named Regional Contractor of the Year (CotY) by the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI). As a regional winner, Harth Builders will now advance to the national competition. National winners will be announced in April at NARI’s annual Evening of Excellence awards gala.

“This award is an honor for our whole team,” said Greg Harth, company president. “CotY submissions are judged by industry professionals outside of our market area. To have our work evaluated and found to be exceptional by our peers in the industry is certainly validating.”

Harth Builders won in the category of Residential Detached Structure. The winning project is a carriage house remodel that updated an old detached garage into a cozy two-bedroom apartment with rustic charm and modern convenience.

As a regional winner, Harth Builders will go on to compete against six other regional winners from across the United States. Judging is based on problem-solving, esthetic appeal, craftsmanship, functionality, and the degree of difficulty in the remodeling project by industry experts.

NARI is an organization of high-quality remodeling professionals. Its members are committed to integrity, high standards, professional education, ethics and market recognition.
