Remodeling in the US industry analysis

The residential remodeling industry has been navigating a complex landscape shaped by economic fluctuations and a dynamic housing market in recent years. Notably impacted by increased investments in housing by private equity, remodelers have experienced a surge in demand, particularly from property managers and developers looking to transform low-cost, investor-owned homes into appealing rental properties. However, remodelers have faced headwinds as inflation and interest rate hikes tempered enthusiasm for larger projects. Despite these challenges, the steady rise in home prices and an appetite for improving existing residences have helped sustain the momentum for remodelers. Revenue has been increasing at a CAGR of 0.9% over the past five years to total an estimated $128.6 billion in 2025, including an estimated increase of 1.7% in 2025. 

Trends and Insights

  • Private equity's surge into housing has bolstered remodelers. By transforming low-cost and vacant homes into rentals, these investors have created more business for remodelers.
  • Single-family detached homes lead the remodeling market. Homeowners are opting to enhance their living spaces with advanced technology and sustainable solutions rather than moving, creating a steady demand for remodeling services.
  • High home prices spur remodeling in areas like New York and California. Homeowners there are often more driven to maintain or boost their property values through ambitious renovation projects.
  • Remodelers need cost-effective services to stay competitive. They also set themselves apart by offering design samples and demonstrating their work's quality, efficiency and timeliness.

Trends and Insights

Interest rate cuts and higher home prices to boost the performance of remodelers

  • As the Federal Reserve continues to ease monetary tightening over the next five years, remodelers will enjoy an acceleration in residential construction activity as the 30-year conventional mortgage rate decreases. While these cuts will also boost new single-family construction activity, they will also boost private spending on home improvements.
