What's in store for the rest of the when it comes to Home Improvement, Remodeling, and Construction? Homes are aging (the average U.S. house is 30 years old) and, as interest rates continue to rise, many are renovating instead of relocating. Homeowners today want to modernize, expand, and keep their houses low maintenance.As the baby boom generation moves into retirement age, many are demanding options as they "age-in-place" (staying at home and foregoing the retirement communities.) They desire to remain in their single family home as long as it is safe and comfortable. Younger generations are interested in expanding the size of their homes, adding technical goodies, and increasing property values with the latest products and materials.
- Kitchen Renovation and Bathroom Remodeling will still be Number One on everyone homeowners remodeling wish list. They want to expand the kitchen - it's the center of their home - or add or update a bathroom. It will be a big deal to re-do not only the tiles and counters in the bathroom, but also to add new amenities - spa tubs, steam showers, rain (overhead) shower heads, radiant heat, flat screen TVs behind two-way mirrors and more!
- Home Technology Upgrades: Home Security - closed circuit cameras, alarms, & safes; Home Theaters - stylish theater components with controllable lighting and sound; and Smart Homes - home automation products that control media, lighting, security, and temperature.
- Garage Improvements: homeowners are renovating garages or expanding existing ones to add workrooms that give plenty of storage with comfortable flooring.
- Home Restoration: returning the house to its original character - something that won't look dated in a few years. After many years of home flippers and home remodelers adding granite counters to every period of house, a home restoration can be in order to bring back and highlight the homes original architecture.
- "Specific Rooms" are hot: purpose-built rooms in new construction or current rooms that can be converted. Homeowners will want to add a library, home theater, gym, or wine cellar.
- Low Maintenance - everyone wants products and materials that are easy to clean, easy to fix, and easy to replace. This includes countertops, floors, windows, and appliances.
- Synthetic Materials - they are cheap, easy to maintain, and last longer so they won't have to be replaced anytime soon.
- Green - people will want more solar, biodegradable, and energy efficient materials and appliances. If you need to find a solar panel contractor or a green renovation contractor, we can help.
- Outdoor Kitchens - this is the huge trend. Moving the indoor outside by hiring an Outdoor Kitchen Builder. Homeowners know this is a great way to expand their home without having the added cost of the construction of new rooms. People want to bring it all outdoors in the summer: state-of-the-art grills and cook-tops, counters, sinks, fireplaces, wet bars, islands, and more.
