The annual Houzz & Home survey reveals what you can expect to pay for a renovation project and how long it may take

If you’re about to embark on a remodel project, chances are you’ve already started asking yourself, How long will this take? And what should I spend my money on?

You’re not alone in considering a remodeling project. According to the fourth annual Houzz & Home survey, more than half (58 percent) of the 170,000 U.S. respondents renovated their homes in 2014, and more than half (55 percent) have concrete plans to continue or start renovations in 2015. That means there are countless people who have gone through what you have gone through — or are planning to go through this year. And we can learn a lot from one another.

To give you an inkling of what to expect, the survey offers insights into what you might pay for a renovation project, how long it will take and more.
