President’s Welcome Letter

“Being able to take ideas and transform them into something tangible is life-affirming”

- Melinda Santillian

With each new project, the remodelers, vendors, and suppliers within the remodeling industry have this “life-affirming” opportunity. We are entrusted with our customers’ visions and transform these ideas into tangible spaces that add value to their home and to the San Antonio community.

Yet, our ability to complete these transformations successfully is dependent upon our cohesion, our ability to weave together our creative ideas and invaluable skills. NARI is that unifying thread.

NARI is a non-profit organization whose vital goal is to advance and promote the remodeling industry’s professionalism and quality of work. Remodelers, material vendors, and suppliers come together under one roof to educate each other. From discussing problem areas to sharing best practices, NARI members are encouraged to participate in monthly meetings and to assume an active role. Furthermore, throughout the year, educational seminars are held to improve our knowledge of the latest trends and legislation associated with our industry. Yet our members’ voices extend beyond our local chapter; nationally, we have representation that supports our industry.

Whether you are a homeowner or business professional, NARI offers you the opportunity to enrich your knowledge of our industry and to obtain beneficial information on the top contractors in the San Antonio area. Together, we can create beautiful and functional spaces that will help remove the negative stigma that is often associated with the remodeling industry.

As President of this prestigious organization, I have great plans to uphold the integrity of NARI and to expand membership by seeking out qualified and professional members of the local remodeling industry. With projects such as the Home and Garden Show, the Tour of Remodeled Homes, Educational Symposiums, and Symmetry – a NARI produced magazine and resource guide, I am eager to serve our community and our members who share our vision.

Best Regards,
Justin Bravo
2012 President – NARI San Antonio
