Deciding to remodel a home is a big decision. Outside of buying a home, it may be the single biggest investment a homeowner makes. It is important to know that the remodeling contractor is a full-time, dedicated, licensed professional. A national certification program offers this assurance through its extensive screening and testing process: the National Association of the Remodeling Industry. John Stueve is a Certified Remodeler, an qualification program offered by NARI. Stueve's lead carpenters are also Certified Remodelers.

In addition to participation in the certification programs, NAI certified remodeling professionals have pledged to abide by NARI's strict Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics.
