Craftline Remodeling is proud to announce that we are now an official member of NARI Tampa Bay the Tampa Bay Area Chapter of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry.
NARI is the most respected professional association in the remodeling industry in the United States. For over 40 years, NARI has set the standard for ethical business practices, professional education, and quality craftsmanship in residential remodeling. Membership is not automatic contractors must meet strict criteria and commit to NARI’s Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice.
For Tampa Bay homeowners planning a kitchen remodel, bathroom renovation, home addition, or any major home improvement project, working with a NARI member contractor provides an extra layer of accountability and professionalism that most contractors simply do not offer.
What Is NARI?
The National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) is a nonprofit trade association dedicated to advancing the professionalism, ethics, and quality of the remodeling industry across the United States. NARI connects homeowners with qualified, vetted remodeling professionals who have committed — in writing — to the highest standards in the business.
NARI Tampa Bay is the local chapter serving contractors and homeowners throughout Hillsborough County, Pinellas County, and the greater Tampa Bay area. The chapter has been connecting Tampa Bay homeowners with the area’s best remodeling contractors for over 25 years.

What Does NARI Membership Mean for Tampa Bay Homeowners?
When you hire a NARI member contractor for your remodeling project, you are working with a company that has agreed to follow NARI’s strict Code of Ethics. This is not a suggestion — it is a binding commitment that every member makes when they join.
NARI’s Code of Ethics requires every member to:
- Promote only products and services that are functionally and economically sound — no upselling unnecessary work or pushing materials that do not serve the homeowner’s best interest
- Make all advertising and sales promotions factually accurate — no misleading claims, bait-and-switch pricing, or deceptive marketing practices
- Write all contracts and warranties in compliance with federal, state, and local laws — every scope of work, payment schedule, and warranty term is documented clearly and legally
- Promptly acknowledge and take appropriate action on all customer complaints — if something goes wrong, the contractor is obligated to address it
- Obtain and maintain proper licensing and insurance as required by state and local authorities — no cutting corners on the legal requirements that protect homeowners
- Preserve the health and safety of employees, trade contractors, and the general public on every job site
These are not vague promises. They are specific, enforceable commitments that separate NARI members from the thousands of unlicensed or under-qualified contractors operating in the Tampa Bay area.
Why Craftline Remodeling Joined NARI Tampa Bay
At Craftline Remodeling, we have always operated with transparency, integrity, and a commitment to quality craftsmanship. Joining NARI Tampa Bay formalizes that commitment and holds us accountable to an independent, nationally recognized standard.
We joined NARI because we believe that homeowners deserve more than a contractor who just shows up and does the work. They deserve a contractor who:
- Operates under a professional code of ethics — not just their own internal policies
- Invests in continuing education and stays current with industry best practices through NARI’s certification and training programs
- Is part of a professional network that holds its members to a higher standard than what Florida law requires
- Believes that remodeling should be done right — and is willing to be held accountable when it is not
This is what NARI calls “Remodeling Done Right.” It is more than a slogan. It is a professional standard that we are proud to uphold.

How to Verify a Contractor’s NARI Membership
If a contractor tells you they are a NARI member, you can verify their membership directly through NARI’s website or by contacting the local chapter. NARI Tampa Bay maintains a member directory that homeowners can access to confirm a contractor’s active membership status.
We encourage every Tampa Bay homeowner to ask their contractor:
- Are you a current NARI member? Which chapter?
- Can you provide your Florida contractor’s license number? (Verify at myfloridalicense.com)
- Do you carry general liability insurance AND workers’ compensation coverage?
- Are you a member of any other professional associations?
A contractor who is willing to answer these questions — and can prove their answers — is a contractor who takes their profession seriously.
What This Means for Your Next Remodeling Project
Whether you are planning a kitchen remodel in South Tampa, a bathroom renovation in St. Petersburg, a home addition in Clearwater, or an ADU build anywhere in the Tampa Bay area, choosing a NARI member contractor gives you:
- Verified professionalism — the contractor has been vetted and has agreed to industry-leading standards
- Ethical accountability — NARI’s Code of Ethics provides a framework for resolving concerns beyond what the law requires
- Ongoing education — NARI members invest in professional development, certifications, and industry knowledge
- Peace of mind — knowing that your contractor is part of a professional community that holds its members to a higher standard
At Craftline Remodeling, we have always believed that the right contractor is the one who holds themselves accountable — not just to the homeowner, but to the industry. NARI membership is how we back that up.
