Remodelers’ Cost of Doing Business 2012

By NAHB Remodelers

Get a glimpse of financial statements from remodelers nationwide. The remodelers' cost of doing business study is based on a nationwide survey of remodelers. Using candid answers about annual revenue, cost of sales and operating expenses, as well as company assets, liabilities and equity positions, NAHB calculates average gross and net profit margins, as well as critical financial ratios for remodeling professionals nationwide. The study provides key financial benchmarks which remodelers can use to compare their business with similar remodeling firms and with the industry as a whole. Use the data to pinpoint areas for improvement, increase efficiencies, and make informed decisions about profit and budget goals in the future. The study's results are broken down by region of the country, type of residential remodeler, 2011 revenue, number of jobs completed in 2011, and number of years in business.
