Home remodeling and maintenance are projected to experience a $2 billion increase in 2025, driven by a significant rise in homeowner spending, according to a Harvard University study. Collov AI, a platform designed to simplify and enhance every stage of the remodeling process, is ready to lead this resurgence. By streamlining tasks from planning to execution, Collov offers homeowners and professionals a more efficient and personalized way to tackle renovation projects.
The platform combines a wide range of features in one place, allowing users to design spaces, source materials, manage construction workflows, secure funding, and more. It eliminates many of the traditional pain points in remodeling, such as coordinating multiple stakeholders or resolving supply chain disruptions. The result is a faster, more cost-effective process that encourages creativity and meets individual needs.
“Remodeling should be inspiring, not overwhelming,” says Xiao Zhang, co-founder and CEO of Collov AI. “Our platform takes the uncertainty out of the process, giving users the tools they need to bring their ideas to life with ease.”
Bringing Spaces to Life with Smart Visualization Tools
One of Collov AI’s standout features is its ability to provide real-time visualizations of property layouts. With tools for 3D modeling and dynamic scene adjustments, users can explore how different furniture arrangements, design choices, and renovations will look before making any decisions.
“These tools let people see the full potential of a property,” explains Zhang. “Whether it’s trying out new layouts or adding personal touches, users can make changes instantly and share their ideas with others, helping projects stay on track.”
Realtors also benefit from these capabilities. Virtual tours and staging options allow them to present properties in a way that resonates with buyers. “Staging has become an essential part of selling homes,” Zhang adds. “Our platform gives realtors the ability to showcase properties in ways that appeal to today’s market.”
Making Better Decisions with Data
Collov AI goes beyond visualization by offering insights into market trends, pricing forecasts, and buyer behavior. These data-driven tools help users make informed decisions about their projects, from design to execution.
“Our platform’s ability to provide actionable insights sets it apart,” says Zhang. “For instance, if data shows a demand for flexible living spaces, our users can incorporate those trends into their designs, giving them an advantage in the marketplace.”
Overcoming Common Remodeling Challenges
Collov AI addresses some of the most persistent challenges in remodeling, such as balancing budgets with customization, coordinating teams, and sourcing quality materials. It also enables seamless collaboration, even when participants are in different locations.
“Our virtual tour tools allow clients and collaborators to view and refine designs from anywhere,” Zhang explains. “This saves time and ensures everyone is on the same page before construction begins.”
By tackling these issues head-on, Collov AI provides a solution for the delays and cost increases that have affected remodeling activity in recent years.
Meeting Rising Demand in a Changing Market
As remodeling activity picks up in 2025, platforms like Collov AI will be essential for navigating the growing demand. By streamlining the process and offering tools to manage every step, Collov is set to help users take full advantage of new opportunities.
“Collov was created to give everyone — from first-time homeowners to seasoned developers — a better way to approach remodeling,” Zhang says. “Our goal is to simplify the process, more creative, and ultimately more rewarding.”
