    What are the CotY Awards?

    The prestigious CotY (Contractor of the Year) awards are presented each year to NARI (National Association of the Remodeling Industry) members who have demonstrated outstanding work through their remodeling projects. Members submit projects voluntarily through an online portal for judging by their peers located outside their local chapter.

    Because CotY-winning remodeling award projects demonstrate exceptional design and craftsmanship in renovation, a diverse and impartial panel judge each project. Projects entered into the National CotY Awards program are eligible to win a Regional award among 48 categories in seven regions nationwide. Selection of one National CotY winner is from amongst the Regional winners in each category. Stay tuned for more announcements!

    The Cleary Company Team has several active members in NARI’s Central Ohio chapter, which is located in NARI National’s East Central Region. Ten Central Ohio remodeling companies submitted a total of 45 project entries in the 2020 local competition. Ultimately, twenty-seven winners were announced in 26 award categories with a rare tie in the Commercial Interiors category!

    Start Planning Now for Your Spring & Summer Projects

    Thinking of upgrading your home’s exterior or adding an outdoor living space? Now is the time to get started on designing the structure and selecting all the features. As you explore ideas keep in mind that creating a relaxing, stylish outdoor living space or outdoor room can greatly increase the appeal and value of your home as well as provide an oasis for friends and family to enjoy the great outdoors in comfort.

    To protect your outdoor room from the elements, consider adding a roof, awning or pergola in an eye-popping color and design. This way, your outdoor living space will be open for enjoyment even in most of the unpredictable Ohio weather. Our client chose a red metal roof for their new screened porch and selected a light blue for the open beam interior ceiling. Don’t be afraid to add stylish accents and traditional indoor furnishings to your outdoor room. Carpets, throw pillows for furniture, and other design touches will create a welcoming feel. Just make sure they’re rated for outdoor use if they’ll be exposed to the elements.
