Apple Valley Resident and Business Owner Wins NARI Award

March 25, 2012 - PRLog -- Eighteen year Apple Valley resident and local business owner Rick Lyrek has much to be thankful for.  Lyrek’s custom closet company, Closets for Life, recently received a Contractor of the Year (COTY) award for outstanding achievement from the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) Minnesota Chapter.  

Closets For Life submitted a large custom closet project in the competition.  The project won in the category of Residential Projects Under $15,000 and received honorable mention in the Residential Interior Specialty category. Contest submissions are judged by a panel of 25 remodeling professionals and evaluation is based on how a project enhanced an existing structure, used superior craftsmanship, overcame obstacles and delivered a project that met the client’s objectives.  This the 15th year that the NARI Minnesota chapter has held the COTY awards.

“I am so grateful and proud to have won this award, especially for this particular project which had a challenging design space.” says Rick Lyrek. Lyrek started the custom closet company seven years ago after deciding to make a career change and start a family business. Despite the recession, the company has continued to grow and be a source of pride for Lyrek and his family. The whole family is involved in the company. Lyrek’s father-in-law and son help out often on installations.
