BuilderBooks, the publishing arm of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) released a new edition of its Remodelers’ Cost of Doing Business Study, 2026 Edition, a national study of remodelers’ business practices and financial performance.

The study, which has been published periodically over the last couple decades, gives remodelers access to valuable benchmarks to compare how their business stacks up against other similar remodeling firms and the industry at large.

NAHB’s team of economic and business management experts gathered and analyzed financial data from remodelers nationwide, to provide insights into key metrics like gross and net profit margins, assets and liabilities, owner’s equity, and financial ratios—all crucial indicators of a company’s performance compared to the industry overall.

“The new version of this publication offers remodelers the tools to spot trends that improve profitability,” said NAHB Chairman Bill Owens, a Worthington, Ohio-based, remodeler and home builder. “With the wealth of data offered, is a great way to benchmark your financials and learn strategies for success in today’s competitive environment.”

By providing recent and reliable data on industrywide profit margins and financial ratios, the results help remodelers compare their performance against aggregate data. The findings will help remodelers with resource allocation, budgeting, and target setting for various costs and expense lines. More broadly, the study can help craft an overall strategy to achieve higher financial results.
