This paper investigates housing characteristics that impact on factors in the home remodeling process including the type of remodeling project, how the remodeling was planned and carried out, and the resources invested. Households who had applied for building permits to enlarge or alter their homes were sampled in a mail survey (70% response). The hypothesis predicted no significant associations between selected housing characteristics and the remodeling process. Chi-square tests or one-way analyses of variance with Duncan’s multiple range test were used to test for significant associations. Housing-related characteristics having significant associations with the home remodeling process include value of the house, length of residence, age of the structure, and equity. Factors in the home remodeling process with significant associations were planning the remodeling project, the goal of the remodeling project, the purpose of the remodeling project, and how the remodeled space was used
