The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) is debuting a new resource called the State Projections of Remodeling (SPR), which will provide a quarterly analysis of remodeling activity for each state in the nation based on total dollar volume, marketshare, and change in remodeling spending.
“I am excited to see this latest research initiative from NAHB with a focus on the remodeling sector,” said NAHB Remodelers Chairman Elliott Pike, a remodeler from Homewood, Ala. “Having access to quarterly, state-level spending data will be beneficial for industry remodelers, policymakers, and industry analysts.”
Based on a proprietary model developed by NAHB, the SPR is a statistical model designed to use national quarterly improvement spending data and estimate remodeling marketshare by state using multiple indicators and NAHB’s annual state remodeling forecast.
“Given multiple tailwinds for industry expansion, such as the aging housing stock, the trend of aging-in-place improvements, and more homeowners that are choosing to stay put, we are forecasting that remodeling spending will continue to grow in both the short term and the long run,” said NAHB Economist Eric Lynch. “The SPR will fill a much-needed research gap within the marketplace.”
The first edition of the SPR shows that California is the top state for remodeling based on total share, garnering nearly 8% of the market. The top five states, broken down by marketshare and dollar volume for the fourth quarter of 2025, are:
- 1. California: 7.9%, or $22.11 billion
- 2. Texas: 7.0%, or $19.7 billion
- 3. Florida: 5.5%, or $15.3 billion
- 4. New York: 3.9%, or $11.0 billion
- 5. North Carolina: 3.0%, or $8.4 billion
With respect to market growth, the SPR reveals these five states had the largest change in remodeling spending:
- 1. Michigan: up $965.1 million (+15.9%)
- 2. Virginia: up $631.6 million (+9.6%)
- 3. North Carolina: up $601.6 million (+7.6%)
- 4. Ohio: up $600.0 million (+8.6%)
- 5. Alabama: up $445.5 million (+12.0%)
