Several States Drive 20 Percent of Remodel Activity

Remodeling is booming—and it’s no surprise that California is setting the pace, driving 8% of the nation’s $22.2B remodeling market. Alongside Texas and Florida, our state is at the forefront, fueled by strong home equity and a wave of aging properties. Between 2023 and 2025, spending has surged over 10%, supported by 128,000 remodeling firms across the U.S. In Santa Barbara, where every upgrade can make or break a deal, understanding these trends is vital. My background in marketing and lending means I don’t just watch these numbers—I use them to craft winning strategies, ensuring every client’s investment stands out and delivers real returns.
