Projected Number of Jobs for 2013 30.6% 30% 25% Financing is another factor mentioned by nearly every remodeler one talks with, and easing of lending requirements would be a distinct relief, most say. "[Homeowners] still do not have easy access to money even though the rates are low," Herriges says. "We are fortunate that essentially all our projects are financed by homeowners with cash of some sort — where they're getting it from, I don't know. Five or six years ago we would often work through a bank or a title company on these projects, and we're not seeing that right now." Herriges doesn't see home builders who have entered the remodeling market as especially troubling competition. "I welcome professional competition. However, the unqualified, unprofessional person entering the remodeling industry is competition because they do not have the training or the experience to deliver a quality product and can end up spoiling the image of the remodeling industry," he says. 23.9% 20% UP 15% DOWN 11.2% 11.1% 10% 6.8% 4.7% 5% 0% 25% 1-5% 6-10% 4% 2.1% 1.4% 11-15% 16-20% 4.2% 20+% Projected Revenue for Completed Remodeling Projects for 2013 24% 24% 20% UP 15% DOWN 10% 13% 10.2% 9.6% 6.2% 4.8% 5% 0% 2.2% 1-5% 6-10% 4.2% 1.3% 11-15% 16-20% 20+% Packaged grinding systems 1 HP grinder motor for heavy-duty and commercial applications Up to 50 gallons per minute Pumping distance of up to 36' vertically and/or 328' horizontally Four inlets to accommodate toilets, sinks, tubs/ showers, washing machines and much more Onboard visual alarm and wired audible alarm system 2-YEAR WARRANTY 1-800-571-8191 www.saniflo.com Also available as a duplex system ® Sanicubic can be installed above the floor or in an existing pit.
