About Fred Case

Case was instrumental in developing the first certification system for remodelers while chairing the National Education Committee of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI). Among many other honors, Case won the first NARI "Contractor of the Year Award" in 1976, and was recognized in 1984 with NARI’s Harold Hammerman "Spirit of Education" Award for excellence in education and training.
