Organizations
National Association of the Remodeling Industry and NARI Meta Awards
Hammerschmidt Design + Build is a member of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI), a national, not-for-profit organization of remodeling professionals. The awards noted on many of our projects were received from the NARI Meta (short for metamorphosis) award competition, which acknowledges outstanding projects completed by NARI members. Not all projects are submitted for awards due to the cost of photography and staging, timing, or owner’s choice.
NARI’s mission is to bring together Remodelers, Builders, Skilled Craftsmen, and related Industry Professionals to ensure quality work, high standards, and ethical practices within the remodeling industry.
