CGR represents Professionalism, Experience, and Commitment to Quality
A home is the largest investment that most Americans will ever make. It is also one of the most important.
 
This is why the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Remodelors™ Council created the Certified Graduate Remodelor (CGR) Program. The CGR designation helps the consumer, determine which remodeling contractor they can count on to do a professional job.
 
The CGR designation indicates that a remodelor has completed the requirements of the CGR professional designation program, including educational credits, prescribed business standards and experience. If a remodelor has earned the CGR designation, he or she also understands the value of continuing education and is ready to do his or her best for the consumer.
 
To maintain the CGR designation, all CGRs must complete a continuing education requirement every three years. Continuing education requirements include attending remodeling or business-related seminars, trade shows and educational programs. Obtaining other professional designations also counts towards meeting the continuing education requirement.
