California, Texas and Florida continue to account for the largest shares of remodeling activity nationwide, according to first quarter results from the National Association of Home Builders’ State Projections of Remodeling. The SPR offers a quarterly state-by-state analysis of remodeling activity based on total dollar volume, market share and changes in remodeling spending.
“The latest SPR results reflect the most recent GDP report, which showed cyclical weakness in remodeling spending,” says NAHB Chief Economist Robert Dietz. “According to the SPR, the number of states with negative growth rates on a four-quarter moving average rose from five in the fourth quarter of 2025 to 10 in the first quarter of 2026. Still, inflation-adjusted remodeling spending increased more than 10% from 2023 to 2025, supported by an aging housing stock and record-high home equity gains for existing home owners.”
