Portland, OR (PRWEB) May 22, 2008 -- Seasonal homeowner trends show that larger projects reign in popularity amongst homeowners looking to start home improvements during the spring. ReliableRemodeler.com, http://www.reliableremodeler.com/, a nationwide home improvement and remodeling contractor matching service, found that adding a new deck, building a custom home, and creating new room additions were the three most popular projects in a survey of estimate requests submitted during the spring season.

Of larger projects homeowners requested estimates for, 15 percent requested decks, while 13 percent requested to start a custom home. Another 13 percent requested estimates on various home additions. From March to June these projects were consistently among the top five started by homeowners.

Many major home improvement project requests peak in the spring. Homeowner requests to start deck projects historically peak in May.
