According to first-quarter results from the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) State Projections of Remodeling (SPR), three states account for the largest shares of remodeling activity across the nation: California, Texas and Florida.
In the first quarter of 2026, California led remodeling activity, accounting for 8% of the market at $22.2 billion. Texas followed close behind at $20.2 billion, or 7.3%, followed by Florida at $15.4 billion, or 5.5%.
For market growth, the SPR identified five states as having the largest increases in remodeling spending in the first quarter: Michigan, Virginia, North Carolina, Alabama and Washington.
“The SPR is a valuable analytical resource for the home improvement sector, offering state-level insights as the market works through rising costs, elevated interest rates and economic uncertainty, while still showing strong long-term growth potential,” said NAHB Remodelers Chairman Elliott Pike, a remodeler from Homewood, Ala. “Many of the leading states for remodeling growth are in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic, where aging housing stocks and rising home equity are supporting growth.”
The SPR offers a quarterly state-by-state analysis of remodeling activity based on total dollar volume, market share and changes in remodeling spending.
