We know you love your home – or at least, you live there. But during the COVID-19 pandemic, nearly half of all American homeowners are planning to give their homes more TLC. A survey conducted by Kelton on behalf of us (vipHomeLink) revealed how homeowners are tackling home maintenance or improvement projects during the period of social distancing.
“With all the uncertainty relating to COVID-19, protecting and maintaining your home is more important than ever.”
– vipHomeLink Founder and CEO Alfred Bentley III
“Homeowners across the country are utilizing this time to give their home the TLC it may have been lacking due to the hustle and bustle of everyday life,” says Bentley. “Proper home management is critical to ensure that homeowners are not hit with surprise expenses.”
Most common home improvement projects
The survey unearthed the following breakdown of where American homeowners plan to turn their home improvement attention:
- 45% are using the time to tackle things they’ve been putting off.
- 27% plan to take care of home maintenance issues they’ve postponed in the past.
- 39% are organizing closets and pantries.
- 25% are sorting through and systemizing important paperwork regarding their home and the things inside.
- 11% are going all-in on a major project to turn their dreams into reality.
More than 15 million homeowners have started a home renovation project such as redecorating a room or finishing a basement.
However, once the stay-at-home orders lift and people return to their daily grind, the push for home improvement may shift again. More than 22 million homeowners admit they often find it difficult to keep track of home maintenance. Unfortunately, improperly maintained homes may begin to lose value. You may even see the bump your home earned from the pandemic projects disappear.
