The best remodelers never stop learning.

While years of experience are invaluable, the best remodelers are always looking for ways to sharpen their skills, stay current with the industry, and better serve the families who invite them into their homes. That commitment to continuous improvement is what sets exceptional professionals apart.

It’s also what led Paul Criner, Vice President of Criner Remodeling, to become the first remodeling professional in the United States to earn the Certified Master Remodeling Professional (CMRP) designation through the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).

The CMRP is NAHB’s newest certification for remodeling professionals. To earn it, candidates must have years of industry experience, complete advanced continuing education, verify their business practices, and meet rigorous national standards. It’s a designation that reflects both experience and a commitment to continued growth as a remodeling professional.

For those who know Paul, this recognition comes as no surprise. It’s the latest in a series of national honors, including being named the 2025 NAHB Young Professional of the Year, and another example of the time and effort he’s invested in his profession.

The remodeling industry is always changing. Staying involved at the national level helps our team keep up with those changes and bring fresh ideas back to the homeowners we serve. It’s one of the ways we continue to grow and improve, and it helps us guide our clients through the remodeling process with confidence.

That’s the approach we’ve always taken at Criner Remodeling. We believe experience is important, but so is continuing to learn. Paul’s latest accomplishment is another example of our commitment to providing homeowners with the best possible remodeling experience.

Whether you’re planning a kitchen remodel, home addition, or whole-home renovation, we’d love the opportunity to put that commitment to work for you. Contact Criner Remodeling today to start the conversation.
