Home remodeling projects are leaving homeowners dissatisfied and less likely to take on another project, according to a recent study from Hover and Ipsos. The study found that homeowners are spending more on remodeling projects than expected, experiencing large delays, and having problems that they believe could have been avoided. These issues are leading to a lack of trust between homeowners and contractors, and are discouraging homeowners from taking on future projects. However, new technologies are emerging that can help to improve the remodeling process and make it more transparent and less stressful for homeowners. These technologies include 3D modeling, which allows homeowners to visualize their projects in advance, and project management software, which can help to keep track of progress and identify potential problems early on.
