For those Remodelers doing work for seniors in this country there are two Universal Design certifications available and you as a consumer should want your remodeling contractor to have been certified by at least one of the two certifying associations.

The two associations that provide such certification include NARI which is the National Association of the Remodeling Industry and NAHB which is the National Association of Home Builders. Both certifications are valid and a remodeler doesn’t need certifications from both organizations.

Both certifications aim to accomplish the same objective which is to ensure that a remodeling company or remodeling company individual has been certified in the technical and business practices unique to performing work for those wishing to “age in place”. Homeowners and Seniors can rest assured that remodeling contractors who have obtained such certification are qualified to advise you and work on your project design aimed at making your home comfortable for your later years.
