It's not a secret that the U.S. home improvement industry is booming -- and only getting bigger. Last year, it raked in an astounding $367 billion and it's expected to climb to $387 billion by the start of 2019. So, where is all this money going? What are the most popular renovations? Kitchen and bath remodels. It's not hard to understand why. For most people, the kitchen is the heart of the home. Not everyone can buy a house with their dream kitchen already in place. They have to wait to build up equity to borrow against or save up the cash themselves. The average kitchen remodel costs close to $23,000.
