This study investigates the relationship between household characteristics and the home remodeling process. A sample of households, who had applied for building permits to enlarge or alter their homes, were contacted by a mail survey (70 percent response with usable questionnaires). The null hypothesis expects no difference between the households of differing characteristics in remodeling process behavior. Chi-square tests or one-way analyses of variance with Duncan’s multiple range test are used to test for significant differences. Household characteristics having the strongest relationship to the home remodeling process include stage in the family life cycle, length of marriage, education, occupation, and hours of employment.Factors in the home remodeling process include how the project is planned, the amount and type of do-it-yourself activity, the use of remodeled space, the goal of remodeling, and the cost. The results of this study can be applied to educational programs assisting families who plan to remodel
