Joliet Il, Room Additions To Build

Outlook Great for 2008

13% Increase in home improvement spending -study shows


As Americans look to spend record amounts on home renovation and remodeling, they are relying on credible, licensed, and reputable builders to meet their needs. Home improvements for home expansion and changing lifestyles, as well as investment benefits, are key reasons for strong growth trends in home improvement spending.

It is expected that American's will spend over $11,000 on home improvements and repairs, on average, in 2008. This is a 13 percent increase over spending during 2007. This trend is expected to continue through 2015. A struggling housing market is a strong contributor to renewed interest in additions. Many home owners are choosing to create the homes they want by investing in their own homes at a time when lumber prices are at their lowest in over a decade.

"Our mission is creating new living spaces and providing our clients with the highest possible quality products and services, while providing a wonderful experience," says Stand Strong founder and owner Hans Meckley . "For us, building and remodeling is a great experience with each new project, and people know that a priceless addition is now affordable with materials at a historic low"

One unique reason behind the strong growth in home improvement spending is an increase in specialized programs targeting specific home owners. For instance, renovating homes to meet accessibility needs, and building room additions to remain independent, serves the needs of an aging population.

At some point the housing market will stabilize and return to normal growth. In the meantime, well done home improvements and additions are a great investment and offer great return for future resale.
