California, Texas and Florida Lead $279 Billion U.S. Remodeling Market in 2026

It’s impressive to see California, Texas, and Florida at the forefront of the $279 billion U.S. remodeling market projected for 2026. California alone led the charge with $22.2 billion in remodeling activity—accounting for a significant portion of the nation’s renovations. Despite rising costs, remodeling spending increased by 10% from 2023 to 2025, fueled by older homes and more homeowner equity. In Southern California, especially places like Redlands and Yucaipa, I’ve seen firsthand how homeowners are investing in updates to add value and comfort. Knowing where our market stands helps my clients make smart, informed decisions about their next steps—whether you’re thinking of a remodel or considering a move.
