Residential remodelers make up 21 percent of National Association of Home Builders members, typically operating as smaller firms with a median of five employees and median annual revenue of $2.1 million, as reported in the association’s latest member census. The remodeling data was disclosed on Sept. 28 and covers membership through the end of 2025.
The majority of residential remodelers reported their annual business activity in the $1 million to $4.9 million range; 23 percent reported it to be less than $500,000; and 13 percent reported it as between $500,000 and $999,999. The rest of the remodeler members accounted for smaller percentages of business activity: 9 percent between $5 million and $9.9 million; 2 percent between $10 million and $14.9 million; and 1 percent reported $15 million or more. Fewer than 0.5 percent reported zero business activity in 2025.
The median annual revenue for residential remodelers in 2025 was $2.1 million, a 24 percent increase from the $1.7 million reported in 2024. This growth is reflected in the volume of larger projects, as the median number of payroll employees in 2025 was five, which was unchanged from what remodelers reported in 2024.
NAHB members who are primarily or secondarily residential remodelers were asked about the number of remodeling jobs they completed in 2025 costing $10,000 or more, and responses showed that a plurality of 37 percent completed 1 to 5 jobs of this size. Additionally, data showed that 20 percent completed 6 to 10 jobs costing more than $10,000; 21 percent completed 11 to 25; 12 percent completed 26 to 99; and 4 percent completed 100 or more. On average, members involved in residential remodeling as a primary or secondary activity completed 19 jobs costing $10,000 or more in 2025.
If the analysis is limited to the 21% of NAHB members who identify residential remodeling as their main activity, the figures rise noticeably: these firms averaged 31 projects worth $10,000 or more in 2025, with a median count of 12. These numbers closely mirror the patterns observed in earlier censuses dating back to 2022, when the remodeling-job question was first introduced.
