Both the American Housing Survey (AHS) and the Consumer Expenditure Survey (CE) collect extensive data on expenditures for home remodeling. (The Census Bureau tabulates and publishes CE-based remodeling data in its C50 report Expenditures for Residential Improvements and Repairs.) A review of data for the years 2000-01 shows a sizeable discrepancy in the results. Research presented here suggests that the discrepancy originates from a number of sources.
