9. What is the primary source of supply for the tools and supplies you will need to do RRP-related work?
While 42% of respondents said all of the RRP tools and supplies they need are available from their current suppliers, 38% of remodelers said their suppliers carry only a portion of what they need, and 20% said the RRP tools and supplies they need are not available from their current suppliers at all.
This data suggests that building materials suppliers may have an RRP-related business opportunity to capitalize on. Only 10% of respondents said they can find what they need a big box stores, while a quarter (24%) are turning to specialty stores for RRP necessities. The Internet has been a primary source of supply for nearly a third of remodelers doing RRP work (29%). Half of the remodelers that specified “Other” (about 2% overall) said they are as yet unsure of where they will acquire their RRP supplies.
