NARI NYC/LI Partners with Nassau County Consumer Affairs to Reinstate Home Improvement Industry Board
NARI’S Government Affairs Committee Chairman Ben Jackson of Ben’s General Contracting Corp. and other chapter members have worked closely with Nassau County Consumer Affairs Commissioner Madalyn Farley to reinstate Nassau’s Home Improvement Industry Board. Boards of this nature are mandated by New York State and are designed to incorporate professionals’ opinions and experience within government. This is a perfect fit, as one of NARI’s core missions is to “encourage ethical conduct, good business practices, and professionalism in the industry.”
Nassau board members include Jackson plus Kent Buell Stephen Wangel of The Kitchen Loft (NKBA); Sal Ferro of Alure Home Improvements and Cliff Fetner of JacoBuilders (LIBI); Kyle Chaikin of Chaikin Ultimate Pools (Long Island Pool & Spa Association/LIPSA), also representation from the landscaping industry.
Suffolk County Consumer Affairs currently has an advisory board in place that includes NARI member Mike Murtha of Murtha Construction. NARI NYC/LI’s Vice President, Joanne Bechhoff of G.B. Construction, and others are also working on universal contract language that would satisfy both counties, also stricter licensing standards.
