In a survey released today, 59 percent of Americans considered green alternatives for their home improvement projects in the last quarter. However, only 19 percent of homeowners surveyed were motivated to conduct home improvement projects because of tax credits. The survey was part of ServiceMagic’s Q2 2010 Home Remodeling and Repair Index. When homeowners did go green, they focused largely on window upgrades for the home with an increase in window service requests up 81 percent from last year in the same quarter. For homeowners who did not consider green alternatives, 50 percent of them were not aware of the green options, while 27 percent did not like the green product choices and 16 percent found the cost of green products outweighed the benefits.
