Lake City, Colo., July 13, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- There’s no doubt that the cooped-up nature of the pandemic spawned a renewed interest in creating livable spaces at home, but don’t think that trend will stop as the country continues to open up.
“According to COGNITION SmartData, remodeling projects rose by 75 percent in 2020, with homeowners spending an average of $17,140, up from $12,000 in 2019,” notes Green Builder Media CEO Sara Gutterman. “And outdoor living projects have commanded the lion’s share of those dollars as homeowners have relied on outdoor spaces to gather safely with loved ones.”
As one example of this, decking projects have not only grown in number, but also in scale and creativity. “Projects were bigger and more elaborate over the past year, with multiple levels, covered spaces, cabanas, and flex spaces,” notes Patrick Barnds, senior vice president of product management at The AZEK Company.
