Turning the Repair Backlog into Opportunity — Insights from the Fall 2025 Benchmark Report

Homeowners across the U.S. are hitting pause on essential maintenance, creating a $300 billion-plus backlog of deferred repairs that’s set to define the trades landscape in 2026. With more than 70 percent of households postponing projects, the “repair backlog economy” is shaping both immediate challenges and future opportunity. Rising costs, high interest rates, and record credit-card debt are stretching budgets thin, even as high-income homeowners continue to spend and sustain demand.

Join Deanna Kawasaki, Senior Director of Product, Titan Intelligence, and Chris Hunter, Principal Industry Advisor, as they unpack what these shifts mean for residential service businesses. Learn how to use the upcoming Fall 2025 Benchmark Report  to prepare for an eventual surge in high-margin replacement jobs, capture work from both cautious and affluent homeowners, and leverage financing and AI to stay resilient in an uneven economy. This session will arm you with data-driven insights and actionable strategies to finish 2025 strong and position your business for growth in 2026.
