A survey taken by American Express (and reported by MarketWatch of The Wall Street Journal digital network) indicates that a majority of homeowners will continue to invest in home improvements throughout the remainder of the year.
According to survey results, 62 percent of homeowners plan to spend an average of $6,200 on home projects, and young professional and affluent homeowners are both expected to complete a higher number of projects than the general homeowner population.


Specific project statistics include:
*53 percent involve indoor remodeling, with cosmetic work (36 percent), redoing a room (25 percent) and installing new flooring (14 percent) at the top of the list.
*Nearly one in three homeowners will remodel outdoor spaces.
*More than two in five homeowners “are making a conscious effort to invest in green solutions when choosing home improvement materials,” according to the survey results brief.
