How a Remodel can create more joy in your home.
Americans spent $420 billion in 2020 on remodeling their homes! Homeowners choose to remodel for many reasons. Do you need more space or better function in your home?

The National Association of Realtors® (NAR) & National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) partnered to produce the 2022 Remodeling Impact Report. Over the past few months, we have been sharing parts of this report, specifically certain remodeling projects and their impact on homeowners. To complete this series, we have summarized the information to give you the whole picture of this report. Read the full report here.

Joy Scores
The report utilizes a Joy score for each project based on the happiness it provided the homeowner after completion. The scores are not necessarily informed by the cost recovery (ROI) for a project but by how much the project has improved the way they live in their home. A typical score is 9.6 but many projects scored a perfect 10!
