MANCHESTER, NH - J-TEK Construction, a locally owned residential and commercial general contractor serving Southern New Hampshire, has launched an updated company website to help homeowners and business owners research renovation projects at a time when U.S. remodeling spending is expected to reach a record level. The redesigned site is now live at jtek-construction.net, and features expanded service information, completed project galleries, and educational resources covering both residential and commercial construction work in Manchester and the surrounding communities of Bedford, Hooksett, Goffstown, and Concord.
The launch arrives as the broader home improvement market enters a year of steady, if moderating, growth. According to the Leading Indicator of Remodeling Activity (LIRA) from the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University, year-over-year growth in home renovation and repair spending is projected at 2.9 percent in early 2026 before easing to 1.6 percent by year-end, with total homeowner spending on improvements expected to reach $522 billion by the close of 2026.
National data also points to structural drivers behind sustained renovation demand. The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) reports that the typical age of a U.S. home rose from 31 years old in 2006 to 41 years old in 2023, and that 73 percent of remodelers surveyed have seen requests for aging-in-place features increase over the past five years. Aging-in-place projects are renovations that allow older homeowners to live safely and comfortably in their current home as they grow older, such as wider doorways, walk-in showers, and improved lighting.
The same trends are clearly visible across Southern New Hampshire. Redfin data shows the median sale price of a New Hampshire home was approximately $500,200 in March 2026, with the median property taking 53 days to sell. Combined with limited inventory, these conditions are leading more property owners to renovate rather than relocate. An AARP 2024 Home and Community Preferences Survey found that 75 percent of Americans aged 50 and older want to remain in their current home for as long as possible, and AARP New Hampshire reports that 83 percent of New Hampshire residents aged 45 and older view housing affordability as a problem in their area.
“We’re seeing a major shift in how people think about their properties,” said Jimmy Lehoux, founder of J-TEK Construction. “Instead of viewing renovation projects as short-term upgrades, many homeowners and business owners are approaching renovations as long-term investments focused on functionality, durability, efficiency, and future usability,” Lehoux noted. Clients increasingly compare contractor portfolios, review timelines, and weigh long-term value before starting a project.
According to the company, property owners are also becoming increasingly selective about craftsmanship quality, contractor communication, project organization, and long-term workmanship standards as renovation investments continue growing in size and complexity.
J-TEK Construction reports that the most common residential requests in its service area include kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, finished basements, home additions, home offices, and outdoor living spaces. These categories closely match national patterns identified by NAHB, which lists bathroom remodels, kitchen remodels, and whole-house renovations as the most common project types reported by its remodeler members in 2025.
J-TEK Construction says more homeowners are also prioritizing durability, long-term maintenance considerations, and energy-efficient upgrades as renovation projects become larger, long-term financial investments.
The company has also seen rising interest in accessory dwelling units, or ADUs, small secondary homes built on the same lot as a main residence, along with in-law suites and other flexible secondary living spaces. Demand for these spaces is linked to multigenerational living arrangements, the need for guest or rental space, and housing affordability concerns, according to the company.
On the commercial side, J-TEK Construction says local businesses are investing more in office remodels, tenant improvements (interior upgrades made for new or returning business tenants), and retail updates rather than relocating to new properties. Lehoux said careful scheduling, clear communication, and phased construction planning, where work is divided into stages to keep a business open during the project, have become essential parts of commercial renovations.
The updated J-TEK Construction website was developed to make it easier for homeowners and businesses to review past projects, understand the renovation process, and access information about commercial and residential construction services before contacting a contractor. The site includes service overviews, project galleries, and educational materials covering topics such as project timelines, permitting, and planning considerations.
Industry researchers at Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies note that the recent strength of the remodeling sector has been supported by an aging housing stock, accumulated home equity, and homeowners choosing to renovate rather than relocate. Those factors are expected to continue shaping renovation activity across Southern New Hampshire in the months ahead.
