How to Remodel Smart in 2025: Why Aquapeutics Is the Perfect Fit for Cautious Homeowners

What Homeowners Are Doing in 2025

Despite inflation, high interest rates, and growing uncertainty around economic policy, homeowners across the country are still investing in their homes—though with increased caution. Recent projections show remodeling activity is stabilizing at a lower growth rate than during the pandemic boom, but remains well above pre-2020 levels. According to reports from the Joint Center for Housing Studies and AP News, U.S. homeowners spent over $513 billion on remodeling and repairs in Q1 2025 alone, with moderate growth projected into 2026.

• 0%Only if it’s a high-value, budget-friendly upgrade
• 0%Not considering remodeling right now

This "defensive spending" mindset means homeowners are focusing on high-value upgrades that improve quality of life without ballooning costs. Bathroom remodels—especially smaller or mid-range projects—are one of the most common and strategic areas of investment. Houzz reports that while median spend per project dropped overall, smaller bathroom remodels actually rose 13% in cost, reaching $17,000. That suggests homeowners are targeting compact, high-use areas where wellness and comfort matter most.

How Steam Showers and Whirlpool Tubs Fit the Picture

In this environment, steam showers and whirlpool tubs offer an ideal balance of luxury and practicality. They're not just lifestyle enhancements—they're upgrades with tangible physical and financial benefits. In 2025, remodeling is about making spaces that work harder for the people living in them.

Aquapeutics steam showers, for instance, provide an all-in-one enclosed system starting around $3,000–$5,000. That includes the structure, glass, steam unit, and built-in fixtures—eliminating the need for custom tiling, high labor costs, or complex multi-stage construction. Compared to traditional remodeling where tilework alone can exceed $5,000, our units are cost-efficient and surprisingly simple to install. Most units are assembled in a single day, with final hookups for water, drain, and electricity being the only other major steps.

Whirlpool tubs offer even greater value for many homeowners—they require no enclosure assembly and can be installed directly with basic plumbing and electrical hookups. This makes them a smart option for buyers looking to enhance daily recovery and relaxation through hydrotherapy, without committing to a full renovation.
