GREAT REHAB SPECS The table below was submitted by Certfied Rehab Specialist and NRSF member Bob Santucci, of Urban Renovation Consultants, Inc., Beaufort, North Carolina. It is an example of Proprietary specification writing, where the material choice is very exact, and the installation method is dictated by the manufacturer. NRSF and HousingRehab.org do not endorse any product or manufacturer, but will share members' choices here. We hope to establish a list of products and materials that we do endorse and recommend.
