Remodelers’ bottom lines across the country are being squeezed by rising material and labor costs. NAHB’s Economics team is in the process of measuring the impact of increased costs on remodelers’ profitability. And we need your help.

NAHB is seeking data from remodelers to produce average profit benchmarks for the industry. Specifically, the Economics team is requesting data concerning your company’s 2021 Income Statement and Balance Sheet. This information will remain completely confidential; only NAHB’s small research team will see the data.

Industry averages will be published in the next edition of the Remodelers’ Cost of Doing Business Study. The book will retail to NAHB members for $79.95, but respondents will receive a free electronic copy. You can see a summary of past results here.

If you received the survey via email this week, thank you in advance for completing it. To receive a confidential link to the survey, please email Rose Quint, NAHB’s assistant vice president for survey research.
