Jonathan Sweet - Remodeling Notes


Jay Sweet
As senior editor of Professional Remodeler, a lot of information crosses my desk. This blog will be a chance to share some of that with you, with an immediacy not possible with a monthly magazine. It's also your chance to tell me what you think about what I have to say. Whether you agree or disagree, I hope you won't be shy.

An important day in remodeling history

It was 75 years ago today that Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed his first wave of New Deal legislation including the National Industrial Recovery Act or NRA. The NRA led two years later to the formation of the North East Roofing, Siding and Insulation Contractors Association, which eventually became the National Remodelers Association, and in 1982 joined with the National Home Improvement Council to form NARI. (This was part of the reason we named Roosevelt one of the ten most influential people in the history of remodeling.)

So today marks the 75th anniversary of the industry's first tentative steps toward associations and more professionalism. Certainly something worth celebrating!
