Exterior remodelers have plenty to be thankful for this Thanksgiving — and forecasts show that should remain the case at least through 2020. Big-ticket remodeling activity nationwide recently hit a new high, rising 1.2% in the third quarter from the second and 4.8% from 2016's July-to-September period, according to Metrostudy's latest Residential Remodeling Index (RRI). The index rose to an unprecedented 110.0 in the third quarter. That means economic conditions known to influence remodeling activity are 10% better than the old peak in early 2007, just before the Great Recession. The RRI has shown year-over-year gains for 22 consecutive quarters.
