NTCA Five-Star Contractors are increasingly viewed as industry leaders, particularly by handmade tile manufacturers such as those producing Zellige tile, which requires expert installation. Many manufacturers are actively partnering with Five-Star Contractors to ensure proper installation techniques and reduce product claims, according to the NTCA.
Additionally, the program’s impact is evident in architectural specifications:
- More than 250 architectural firms now specify Five-Star labor.
- 44 new firms have begun specifying Five-Star labor in the last six months.
- More than 2,326 projects in RIB SpecLink now include NTCA Five-Star specifications.
With just under 60 accredited contractors, the NTCA aims to double this number by 2028, with at least four new Five-Star Contractors expected to join ahead of the NTCA Five-Star Summer Meeting, July 27-29, in Nashville.
