The Rebound Is Here. Q2 2026 Looks Like a Turning Point for Pros.
New industry data shows construction pros entering Q2 with renewed momentum. Tile Redi is meeting that moment with our biggest PRO discount ever.
Q1 was a grind. If your pipeline felt softer than expected or signed projects were slower to materialize, you weren't imagining it. But according to the Q2 2026 U.S. Houzz Pro Industry Barometer, the corner is turning.
"After recent activity slowed in the first quarter compared with the end of 2025, construction and design pros are entering Q2 with cautious optimism, particularly in construction, where expectations for new projects are showing early signs of a rebound," said Marine Sargsyan, head of economic research at Houzz.
The numbers back it up. The Expected Business Activity Indicator for construction firms rose 3 points to 58 for Q2, with design-build remodelers reporting a strong 10-point rebound to 66. Project backlogs also continue to normalize, dropping to 5.6 weeks nationally, down nearly a full week from a year ago. Homeowners are ready to move, and contractors have more runway to take on new work.
The Pros Who Adapt Are the Ones Who Win
The Barometer doesn't just track optimism. It tracks behavior. Sargsyan noted that firms are adapting in real time, with construction pros investing in workforce development and more flexible pricing, while design professionals double down on client experience and branding.
The pros winning right now aren't just waiting for the phone to ring. They're tightening their supplier relationships, protecting margin on every job, and building reputations that drive referrals. That's exactly the kind of contractor Tile Redi was built to support.
