Hot business opportunity: home renovations.
More people are staying home because of the recession and that’s good news for both home renovation businesses and businesses selling products that help do-it-yourselfers fix it up.

Retailers, service cos. gain as people stay home (Associated Press) says that while construction and major remodeling are still sluggish, there’s a growing demand for handyman, painting and flooring services demand has risen at big-box home-improvement stores for items to make small repairs and maintain lawns and gardens.

This quote tells the story:

“My wife and I had thought of this as more of an in-between house,” said Scott Nichols, 50, who had considered moving from his suburban Cincinnati home to a condo or ranch-style house. “Now we have decided to concentrate on making our current home exactly like we want it, pay it off and stay.”
