Answer 1

Home improvement companies have been booming in recent years do to housing prices. People were taking money out of their equity to pay for improvements. This made their house more valuable, so they gained equity. With the real estate market slowing house prices are steady and people no longer have the cash to improve. Also investors have stopped buying fixing and flipping homes because the profit level has fallen.
