More than 60% of Angie’s List members polled in a recent survey said that they are planning a remodeling project for 2009, according to a Jan. 22, 2009, story by Michele Lerner on Examiner.com. Most respondents also said they will hire professionals to get the job done and will pay for the work outright rather through financing. The average amount they plan to spend is $23,450 (up from $15,020 in 2008), and the median amount is $8,000 (up from $7,500).
