WAUKESHA — Remodelers report that
kitchen and bathroom remodels remain the
most popular, and that home owners' top
motivation for remodeling was to upgrade
with newer, better features in their homes.
The results were released as part of
National Home Remodeling Month in May
by the National Association of Home
Builders Remodelers, which surveyed its
members.
"While remodels prompted by repairs
remain common, home owners have more
discretionary funds available for upgrades,
so better style, comfort and safety motivate
more home improvement projects," said
NAHB Remodelers Chairman Robert, a
remodeler from Newport News, Va.
Both bathroom and kitchen remodels were
up 6 and 7 percent from 2013, respectively,
rebounding strongly from historic lows in
2010. Bathroom remodels were cited as a
common job by 78 percent of remodelers, a
return to an all-time high level.
Repairs and replacements of old compo-
nents and the desire for upgraded amenities
were cited as the top reasons for customers to
hire a remodeler.
The survey also found that a need for more
space and a reluctance to move to a new
home were popular drivers.
