According to the 2024 Modernize Homeowner Insights Report, 53.83% of homeowners spend 1-5 hours researching their projects, and a growing number rely heavily on specialized home improvement platforms like Modernize. But here's the catch - 21.28% don’t do any research at all before starting! This presents a golden opportunity for home improvement businesses:   Educate Early: Offer simple guides, budget calculators, or free consultations to capture the attention of undecided homeowners.   Be Where They Are: Optimize your presence on platforms like Modernize and social media to connect with homeowners during their research phase.   Build Trust: Showcase testimonials, before-and-after photos, and educational content to bridge the gap for those who haven’t done their homework.   By positioning yourself as an expert and resource, you’ll be the go-to solution when homeowners decide to move forward with their projects. The more you help, the more they trust—and that trust drives business. 82 pages of insights attached below:
