May is National Home Improvement Month—a great time to invest in your home and enhance your living space. While we often highlight which renovations offer the best return on investment, this year, based on current industry trends, we’re focusing on four compelling reasons why 2025 is the perfect time to remodel your home.
Whether you’re planning a small upgrade or a full-scale renovation, here’s why acting now makes good sense:
1. Consumer Confidence is High
Thanks to steady job growth and improved wages, homeowners feel optimistic about their financial outlook. The Consumer Confidence Index reached 107.5 in March 2025, reflecting a strong belief in the economy. When people feel secure, they’re more likely to make long-term investments—including home improvements that add value and comfort to their daily lives.
2. Contractor Availability is Limited
Skilled tradespeople are in high demand, and contractor schedules are filling up fast. Labor shortages across the construction industry mean project start dates are being pushed out further. If you hope to complete a remodel this year, it’s smart to get on a professional’s schedule soon to avoid delays.

3. Financing Is Still Favorable
Home equity loans and lines of credit remain viable financing options in 2025. Though interest rates have gradually increased, they’re still relatively affordable. With home values rising, many homeowners are in a strong position to access equity to fund remodeling projects. Acting now can help you take advantage of favorable terms while still getting the most for your money.
4. Material Costs Will Keep Climbing
Building materials continue to rise in price due to global supply chain pressures, inflation, and increased demand. Items like lumber, tile, and custom cabinetry are more expensive than ever—and that trend is expected to continue. Starting your renovation now helps lock in pricing and avoid future cost increases.
