While the economy in 2014 is more sluggish than it was a year ago—due to a variety of reasons—there remains hope for those in the industry. A recent consumer survey by Houzz, a leading online social media platform for home remodeling and design, found nearly 75% of both homeowners and renters want to redecorate their living space within the next two years and, of those, flooring is among the most projects they want to undertake.
The study, which had more than 135,000 respondents across the U.S., found when it comes to replacement projects, flooring, along with paneling and ceiling projects are the most popular at 27%, followed by windows/doors (22%) and roofing (15%).
