What are the most common home remodeling services?

As per national statistics, the two most common general remodeling projects are kitchen & bathroom renovation. Then comes backyard services, landscaping, hardscaping, patio & deck and roofing. So, you can well understand that kitchen remodeling & bath redesign constitutes more than 50% of renovations across the US, and the figure is no different here in California too. This is mainly because these two areas in a home wear out faster than any other place, as it is exposed to elements like dirt, grease, oil, water, mild detergents, smoke, heat & moisture. Thus, it grows algae, mold & mildew over the period of time. Therefore, a kitchen & bath renovation becomes necessary after a few years into existence.
