Several States Drive 20 Percent of Remodel Activity

California, Texas, and Florida are shaping the remodeling landscape in the U.S., with California alone accounting for 8% of the $22.2 billion market. Remodel spending has surged over 10% from 2023 to 2025—a trend fueled by aging homes, increased homeowner equity, and the presence of 128,000 remodeling firms nationwide. As someone who combines data-driven analysis with hands-on experience in Orange County real estate, I see firsthand how renovations can transform a property’s appeal and market value. Whether you’re working through probate or simply weighing your next move, understanding these trends is key to making confident, well-informed decisions about your home.
