Homeowner Survey Infographic: Q2 2018

Through our process of matching homeowners with quality contractors across the country, we survey thousands of homeowners each quarter. In the first half of 2018, we learned a lot about how homeowners choose contractors and why they start their projects.

A few key findings included:

  • How many estimates homeowners prefer to receive before making a decision on a home improvement professional
  • The means of communication that homeowners prefer to use once they have entered into the decision-making phase
  • What motivates homeowners to seek a home improvement professional

We will continue to gather data, and release each quarter to report our findings.

To find out what we’ve discovered about homeowners in 2018, download our first quarterly Homeowner Survey Infographic here, or just check out the insights below:
