The Home Technology Association enters a mutually beneficial collaboration with the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI). The new partnership allows HTA to provide NARI members access to HTA’s library of educational resources. In return, NARI will help spread the word about the importance of using HTA Certified home technology integrators in their remodeling projects.
“NARI members consistently strive to provide the highest level of service to their clients, and this partnership with HTA will give them another tool to achieve that standard,” said David Pekel, Chief Executive Officer of NARI. “Home technology integration is important to today’s homeowners, and it will only increase in the future. Developing partnerships with HTA members is just one more way NARI members can further develop their businesses to be among the most sought-after in the remodeling industry,” Pekel added.
NARI provides residential remodelers with tools that enable them to perform at a higher level. The company also connects homeowners with its professional members so consumers have a positive remodeling experience with a professional, qualified remodeler. NARI’s website, remodelingdoneright.com, contains a searchable list of NARI members that homeowners can use to find a NARI remodeler near them.
“Contractors are often frustrated with the home tech industry and are looking for help in guiding their clients’ and their home’s technology needs. Integrators are too often brought to construction projects too late, resulting in compromised solutions and project delays that could have been avoided if consulted earlier. Through this new relationship with NARI and their members, the HTA looks forward to solving these issues and more as technology increasingly becomes an important part of all of our lives,” says Josh Christian, CEO of the HTA.
This new collaboration—in addition to its new relationship with Home Technology Specialists of America (HTSA) and the Interior Design Society (IDS)—is one of a series HTA will make over the coming months as it seeks to align more deeply with associations and organizations from both the home technology industry and adjacent trades. The HTA advocates that all certified technology integrators join their local NARI chapters as Industry Partners and build personal relationships with the local remodeling pros.
