HomeAdvisor Breaks Down Cost in Relaunch of Annual True Cost Report

DENVER, Feb. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — HomeAdvisor, a leading digital marketplace and operating business of ANGI Homeservices (NASDAQ: ANGI), has relaunched its annual <a target="_blank"…

DENVER, Feb. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — HomeAdvisor, a leading digital marketplace and operating business of ANGI Homeservices (NASDAQ: ANGI), has relaunched its annual True Cost Report*, which looks into the complexities behind the cost of home projects. This report, compiled by HomeAdvisor’s Chief Economist, Mischa Fisher, looks at the distinct levers adjusting the cost of common home projects including how and why they have been impacting pricing at the consumer level. It also takes a deep dive into understanding the most important and most complex of cost factors: labor quality.

«There is a big information imbalance when it comes to home services and a lot of that centers around cost. Homeowners often lack a full understanding of what goes into pricing and commonly have a hard time answering the question, ‘is this a fair price for the work I want done,'» said Mischa Fisher, Chief Economist, HomeAdvisor. «We wanted to take a deep dive this year into this information imbalance and answer some of the fundamental questions about cost including looking at the top completed projects of 2020 their costs and how and why those costs have been changing. For the market to work at its best, it is important for homeowners to understand what different home services cost and to understand what drives those costs.»

«Home services is also a unique industry in that the consumer is directly exposed to the majority of the supply chain – they buy the materials, see the work done first-hand and often have labor itemized on their bills,» continued Fisher. «The more they understand what they don’t necessarily see – the hidden value of a high-quality pro – the more they’ll be open to cost adjustments to reflect the work done in the most important place to them – their homes.»

This report looks into the intangible value high-quality pros bring to their projects, such as honesty, transparency, artistry, environmental responsibility, accurate time and cost estimates, consideration of the homeowner’s lifestyle, consulting on design choices, consideration of materials for certain climates and more.

Additional insights include:

–  Lower costs do not necessarily mean increased popularity of projects. The top three completed projects in 2020 included interior painting (average cost $2,007), bathroom remodels (average cost $13,401) and new flooring (average cost $4,680).
–  From 2019 to 2020, additions, closets and cabinetry had the biggest rise in pricing, with project prices increasing by 30%, 33% and 56% respectively.
–  From 2019 to 2020, computer networking, smart home systems and above ground swimming pools all dropped the most in average price, falling 10%, 39% and 40% respectively.
–  For homeowners, there are four main factors essential to understanding cost: material quantity, material quality, labor quantity and labor quality.

This report also looked at how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the cost and pricing of home services. Topline costs for most of the top 20 projects went up, with a few exceptions, and it was likely primarily due to an increase in the cost of materials.

«COVID-19 likely caused scarcity and factory shutdowns, as well as supply chain disruptions and greater consumer demand for home services,» said Fisher. «Despite this higher demand, home services are unique in that pros will opt to turn down jobs rather than raise prices. Instead of seeing prices rise due to shortages of labor, we’re seeing them due to scarcity of materials.»

To view the complete report, visit HomeAdvisor’s True Cost Report page.

About HomeAdvisor
HomeAdvisor® is a digital marketplace evolving the way homeowners connect with service professionals to complete home projects. With HomeAdvisor’s on-demand platform, homeowners can find and vet local, prescreened home service professionals; view average home project costs using True Cost Guide; and instantly book appointments online or through HomeAdvisor’s award-winning mobile app, which is compatible with all iOS, Android and virtual assistants, including Amazon Echo. HomeAdvisor is based in Denver, Colo., and is an operating business of ANGI Homeservices, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANGI). 

*Data included in the True Cost Report is based on internal HomeAdvisor marketplace data of median costs, and surveys conducted by HomeAdvisor’s internal research team of the general population. Project costs are calculated based on a rolling median of consumer reported pricing for jobs completed through HomeAdvisor. Spending priorities for the top projects in 2020 and the top planned projects in 2021 came from a survey of 1,400 US adults. The survey used post-sample weighting of multiple demographic attributes to develop a representative sample of the entire U.S. population. This is a groundbreaking level of detail on home spending that provides new insights into how people spend on their homes. The material and information contained in this report is for general information purposes only. You should not rely upon such information as a basis for making any business, legal or any other decisions.

MADISON, Wisconsin, 23 de febrero de 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — American Family Insurance reveló hoy su iniciativa Free to Dream, un compromiso de $105 millones para los próximos cinco años para dar continuidad a su trabajo cerrando brechas de equidad y mejorar la calidad de vida de las comunidades. American Family concentrará su enfoque en los siguientes cinco asuntos fundamentales para la sociedad, denominados los pilares Free to Dream: empoderamiento económico, equidad en la educación y la salud, resiliencia climática, reforma a la justicia penal y diversidad, equidad e inclusión de la fuerza laboral.

American Family considera que el sector privado debe desempeñar un papel crucial colaborando con las comunidades para profundizar la equidad. Para lograr este objetivo, la compañía incrementará de forma significativa sus ya sólidas inversiones en las cinco áreas pilares, de tal manera que todas las personas, sin importar su raza, grupo étnico, género o identidad sexual, vivan en un ambiente en el que puedan prosperar. 

«Debemos usar nuestra voz y solidez financiera para ayudar a crear un ambiente donde todas las personas tengan la libertad de perseguir sus sueños», expresó Jack Salzwedel, presidente y director ejecutivo. «American Family siempre defenderá y trabajará por la equidad. Es el deber ser para nuestra compañía, nuestros empleados y nuestras comunidades». 

«Free to Dream es mucho más que American Family. Busca inspirar, crear y apoyar alianzas con otras empresas, organizaciones y el sector público para abordar los problemas juntos y de forma efectiva», señaló Telisa Yancy, directora ejecutiva. «Este es el momento de trascender las palabras e implementar acciones deliberadas y colaborativas que generen cambios profundos».

El compromiso de American Family con las comunidades se emula igualmente dentro de la organización. La búsqueda continua de una fuerza laboral más diversa posicionará a la compañía para atender mejor a los clientes y a las comunidades, y ofrecerá aproximaciones más innovadoras a la solución de los problemas. 

«No solo vemos la diversidad, la equidad y la inclusión como un asunto social sino también como un enfoque que genera una ventaja competitiva», comentó Yasir Kamal, vicepresidente de Inclusive Excellence, quien agregó que American Family estableció un objetivo ambicioso y alcanzable para incrementar la diversidad racial y étnica al contratar, desarrollar y retener activamente el talento en la totalidad de su personal.

Kamal indicó que la compañía seguirá centrándose en el incremento de la diversidad por medio de una serie de estrategias, entre las que se incluyen la contratación deliberada y selectiva (como el enfoque en universidades y colegios universitarios históricamente afroamericanos) y las alianzas con organizaciones que apoyan el desarrollo y la contratación diversa en los niveles de empleados y líderes. La compañía trabajará además desde su cultura inclusiva y en oportunidades de desarrollo y avance que ayuden a retener a los empleados diversos.

Generación de impacto con Free to Dream

Durante los próximos cinco años, el compromiso de $105 millones financiará alianzas e inversiones en emprendimientos de impacto social por medio del American Family Institute for Corporate and Social Impact y de apoyo financiero a través de la American Family Insurance Dreams Foundation e inversiones y alianzas comunitarias, las cuales son áreas existentes de la compañía que en la actualidad adelantan programas para cerrar las brechas de equidad. 

Gracias al apoyo y las inversiones en impacto social que superaron los $67 millones en los últimos cinco años, American Family cuenta ya con una trayectoria de colaboración para influir positivamente en las comunidades. 

Solo en 2020, Dreams Foundation entregó subvenciones destinadas a la educación permanente y a necesidades básicas de 230 organizaciones en todo el país. En 2021, la fundación continuará su labor concentrándose en los logros académicos y la educación, el desarrollo de una juventud sana y las oportunidades económicas, además de las necesidades básicas.

Desde su creación en 2018, American Family Insurance Institute ha invertido más de $15 millones en 18 emprendimientos con impacto social enfocados en cerrar brechas de equidad, incluyendo las que ayudan a abordar el cambio climático y apoyan la educación, la salud mental, el bienestar y a las personas y familias envueltas en asuntos judiciales. En la medida en que estas compañías crezcan, tienen el potencial de incrementar significativamente su impacto sobre los individuos y las comunidades, mientras ofrecen retornos financieros a los inversionistas que las apoyan. 

«Este trabajo hace parte fundamental de nuestro ADN», afirmó Bill Westrate, presidente y director ejecutivo electo. «Durante más de 90 años, American Family ha invertido en iniciativas que benefician a nuestra sociedad. Nuestra función es promover alianzas que creen las bases para la salud, la equidad y la prosperidad económica en nuestras comunidades».

«Estamos orgullosos del trabajo que hemos adelantado ayudando a fortalecer las comunidades y mejorar la calidad de vida, pero todavía estamos lejos de haber concluido esta labor», expresó Westrate. «Sabemos que aún se puede lograr mucho más si reforzamos nuestro compromiso e incrementamos nuestras inversiones».

Pilares Free to Dream de American Family

Empoderamiento Económico: La brecha de la riqueza en los Estados Unidos representa una barrera para las personas de color al esforzarse para hacer sus sueños realidad. American Family Insurance se involucrará en iniciativas, inversiones y alianzas innovadoras que les permitan a más familias lograr el éxito financiero y perseguir su sueño americano.

Equidad en educación y salud: Las desigualdades en educación y salud física y mental limitan los resultados de las comunidades de bajos ingresos, las cuales incluyen de forma desproporcionada a las personas de color. La educación es un vehículo esencial para romper los ciclos de pobreza generacional para los estudiantes y sus familias. American Family Insurance priorizará sus inversiones, alianzas y pensamiento innovador para ayudar a abordar las brechas en salud y educación por todo el país.

Resiliencia climática: El cambio climático ha impactado de manera particular a las comunidades de color de bajos ingresos, muchas de las cuales ya se encuentran desfavorecidas. American Family Insurance ha invertido en varios emprendimientos misionales que identificaron soluciones innovadoras para tener un impacto positivo en estas comunidades. Free to Dream ampliará el conocimiento de estas empresas y estimulará a otras para que se unan a apoyar la sostenibilidad ambiental. 

Reforma a la justicia penal: American Family Insurance busca limitar la reincidencia y ampliar las oportunidades de empleo para personas antes privadas de la libertad y aquellas con historiales de condenas y arrestos. Free to Dream apoyará estos esfuerzos, y la compañía abogará por cambios en políticas públicas que propendan por un sistema de justicia penal más justo y humano. 

Diversidad, equidad e inclusión en la fuerza laboral: American Family Insurance está dando pasos vitales para ubicar la diversidad, la equidad y la inclusión en el lugar de trabajo como un estándar fundamental en la forma en que la compañía conduce negocios y alianzas con la comunidad en general. Esto es algo tan importante que la compañía lo integró en su plan estratégico a cinco años. El compromiso de American Family con la diversidad, la equidad y la inclusión se demuestra mejor a través de su programa Inclusive Excellence, con objetivos estratégicos de crear una fuerza laboral diversa que represente a los Estados Unidos desde los cargos de nivel de entrada hasta los cargos directivos y de alta dirección, cultivando todo el tiempo una cultura inclusiva en la que todas las personas puedan prosperar.

CVS Health Invests $114 Million in Affordable Housing Across the Country in 2020

WOONSOCKET, R.I., Feb. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — To address housing insecurities and promote community health improvement in vulnerable populations, CVS Health (NYSE: CVS) invested over $114 million in affordable housing in 2020. The company’s investments over the past year will lead to the construction and rehabilitation of more than 2,800 affordable housing units in 30 cities, across 12 states.

WOONSOCKET, R.I., Feb. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — To address housing insecurities and promote community health improvement in vulnerable populations, CVS Health (NYSE: CVS) invested over $114 million in affordable housing in 2020. The company’s investments over the past year will lead to the construction and rehabilitation of more than 2,800 affordable housing units in 30 cities, across 12 states.

Throughout 2020, CVS Health worked closely with community organizations to provide affordable housing options and services to people facing significant challenges. As a result of the company’s affordable housing investment strategy, over 460 permanent supportive housing (PSH) units will be constructed to provide stable homes for people who may be experiencing homelessness, affected by chronic illness, victims of domestic violence, in need of behavioral health or addiction treatment, or are challenged by similar life and health situations. In addition to affordable housing, these PSH residents will also receive access to a wide range of services to stabilize and improve their health including social, behavioral health and addiction recovery services. Additionally, of the 2,800 affordable housing units being constructed or rehabilitated through CVS Health investments, 560 of the units are dedicated to housing seniors, while over 100 are reserved specifically for veterans and their families.

«We recognize that equitable access to stable and supportive housing serves as one of the greatest barriers to better health for many people,» said Karen S. Lynch, President and CEO of CVS Health. «Through our investments and collaboration with local partners, we’ve been able to provide underserved communities across the country with quality housing, economic support, and educational training opportunities based on the unique needs of the population.»

The company’s efforts to address housing insecurity are a core part of Destination: Health, a series of CVS Health business programs focused on helping people improve their health outside of a clinical setting.

Addressing Racial Inequality and Health Disparities in Black Communities

CVS Health’s increase in investments in affordable housing with supportive services during 2020 is part of the company’s larger commitment to address racial inequity and the social determinants of health in Black communities. Under this commitment, CVS Health will invest nearly $600 million over five years to advance employee, community and public policy initiatives that address inequity faced by Black people and other disenfranchised communities.

As the company invests in local affordable housing developments, it is also exploring opportunities to bring other social justice and equity initiatives to those same local communities to amplify the impact of the programs. These expansions include bringing the company’s Project Health program to new markets. Project Health offers free biometric screenings to help identify chronic conditions before they become life-threatening illnesses. CVS Health’s workforce initiatives programs, focused on empowerment, education and training, are also being introduced to new markets to help residents achieve meaningful employment opportunities. 

In September 2020, CVS Health announced its investment of $13.7 million to  renovate 230 low-income housing units at the Rosewind Apartments in Columbus, Ohio. In collaboration with the Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority and the Ohio Capital Corporation for Housing, CVS Health’s investment will provide comprehensive local support including quality housing, significant improvements to the local community center and support for new community programs for families and individuals facing challenges in the North Linden neighborhood.

In November 2020, the company invested $8.7 million to help build a new 116-unit affordable housing complex in the Mercy Drive neighborhood of Orlando, Florida. The development includes three buildings, a community center, playgrounds, on-site laundry facilities and onsite management offices. All residents will have access to on-site supportive services including adult literacy, employment assistance and financial management programs.

Creating Healthier Communities Through Affordable Housing

In 2020, CVS Health invested in affordable housing projects and programs in different locations throughout the country including Alaska, Ohio, Massachusetts, Texas, Georgia, Florida, Wisconsin, Hawaii, California, New York, Maryland, and Colorado.

Examples of these investments include:

  • $15.3 million to build 144 new homes and services for Ohio seniors, including those with disabilities, in two affordable housing communities known as Eastern Woods Senior Apartments in Findlay and Northland Gate in Columbus.
  • $6.2 million for Happiness House Apartments in Canandaigua, NY, a supportive housing community providing 30 new homes for families and seniors, including people who have been experiencing homelessness or struggling to find stable housing.
  • $4.3 million for Bridgeway Community Housing in Wasilla, AK, a 24-unit PSH project designed to meet the needs of Alaskans experiencing homelessness, living with mental disabilities, who may have substance abuse disorders or are working to avoid recidivism, and any other Alaskans whose histories present barriers to accessing mainstream housing.

«Our investments in housing and work with regional organizations this past year have enabled us to help improve individual and community health outcomes during a particularly challenging time,» said Keli Savage, Head of Impact Investment Strategy, CVS Health. «By focusing our investment strategy on providing affordable, service-enriched housing for low-income regions and communities of color, we’re able to help those most impacted by the burden of housing instability. We’re proud to continue furthering our commitment to investing in opportunities that promote greater access to affordable housing and the essential services people need on their path to better health.»

CVS Health looks forward to announcing additional affordable housing initiatives throughout 2021.

MESQUITE, Texas, Feb. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Currently, Texas is experiencing snowfall that hasn’t been seen for many years. While some counties see some snow every year, this is the first time all 254 counties have seen snow in 126 years. For many Texans, this is the first time that they are experiencing snow.

This blog piece provides tips for safely navigating the snow covered roads across the state. These tips include driving slowly, how to regain control and navigating with different drivetrains. While there are many rules to follow when driving in snow, the Metro Mazda of Mesquite team wanted to focus on the tips that are most helpful for drivers who have never experienced snow.

Global Solar Power Market Size Expected to Exceed $194 Billion By 2027

PALM BEACH,  Fla., Feb. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Everything solar is booming! Solar power is now cheaper than coal in some parts of the world, and generating power from the sun is likely to be the lowest-cost energy option globally in less than ten years, according to Bloomberg. In many places around the world, solar is already the lowest-cost option. Even the big utilities are moving rapidly toward solar (and wind, which is also poised to best coal in terms of cost).

PALM BEACH,  Fla., Feb. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Everything solar is booming! Solar power is now cheaper than coal in some parts of the world, and generating power from the sun is likely to be the lowest-cost energy option globally in less than ten years, according to Bloomberg. In many places around the world, solar is already the lowest-cost option. Even the big utilities are moving rapidly toward solar (and wind, which is also poised to best coal in terms of cost). The New York Times reports that Xcel Energy—which provides electricity to the middle of the country, from Colorado to Texas to Michigan—has asked for proposals to build large wind and solar power plants in Colorado, and bids are already coming in lower than the operating costs for coal plants. West Coast energy provider Pacific Gas & Electric has committed to making renewable energy, including solar, 55 percent of its power portfolio by 2031. Many experts think that California will hit the 50 percent renewables mark by 2025—maybe even sooner. A report from Fortune Business Insights said projected that the global solar power market size, which was USD 163.70 billion in 2019, is projected to reach USD 194.75 billion by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.9%. Active solar companies in the market this week include First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ: FSLR), Green Stream Holdings Inc. (OTCPK: GSFI), SunPower Corp. (NASDAQ: SPWR), SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SEDG), Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH).

Another report from Grand View was also optimistic about the submarket for solar panels, saying that: «The global solar PV panels market size was valued at USD 115.2 billion in 2019 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3% from 2020 to 2027. Growing demand for renewable-based clean electricity coupled with government policy tax rebates and incentives to install solar panels is expected to drive the market in the coming years. Firms in commercial and industrial sectors are among the chief consumers of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels owing to their large scale requirement for green power. Economies of scale installation in these sectors compensate for any loss in panel efficiency, thereby making the solar PV systems profitable for large scale power generation. The residential sector is gaining momentum in solar PV panel installations owing to net metering schemes for on-grid systems.»

Green Stream Holdings Inc. (OTCPK: GSFI)  BREAKING NEWS:  Green Stream Holdings (OTC: GSFI) Completes Structural Engineering for 160 Imlay Street Project; Submits for Solar Interconnectivity with ConEdison NY Grid – Green Stream Holdings Inc. («the Company») («Green Stream») (http://www.GreenRainSolar.com ), an emerging leader in the solar utility and finance space, announces today key updates on its flagship project site 160 Imlay Street in Brooklyn, NY.

The Company has officially completed its structural engineering for the 160 Imlay Street Project and has submitted its application to integrate its solar and photovoltaic initiatives with conEd’s powerful electric distribution grid.   

Con Edison provides electric services to 3.2 million customers in New York City and portions of Westchester County. Electricity is delivered through approximately 94,000 miles of underground cable, and almost 37,000 miles of overhead cable.

As the demand for solar energy soars, the industry is booming in New York. Solar clients expect prompt interconnection, but this isn’t always the case. The State of New York and utility companies, such as Con Edison, both have interconnection requirements.  The vast majority of solar installers apply for interconnection on behalf of their residential and commercial clients.  

As part of its Clean Energy Commitment, conEd wants to make it possible for customers to buy 100 percent clean electricity by 2040. Con Edison Inc. is the second largest solar producer in North America and seventh largest in the world. Approval of Green Stream Holdings’ initial application with conEd for Imlay street will facilitate the opportunity to harness renewable energy for GSFI to then lease back to the surrounding communities toward a sustainable, long-term income stream, as it continues to position itself as an industry leading lease-back utility company in the renewable energy space.

Green Stream’s initiatives for 160 Imlay include implementation of a rooftop photovoltaic system providing at a minimum of 300- 450 Kw of electric Photo Voltic Power, utilizing approximately 1000-1440 panels, on approximately 22,000 square foot space on the property. Green Stream Holdings, together with Morali Architects as their joint venture partner in this project, will design, erect, construct and install or retrofit the property, increasing its value and reducing the property’s carbon footprint all the while.  Continued….

SANTA ROSA, Calif., Feb. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Solectrac, Inc. (Solectrac), a portfolio company of Ideanomics (NASDAQ: IDEX) («Ideanomics» or the «Company») announces new reservation campaign for Solectrac’s all-electric tractors.

As demand has grown quickly for Solectrac’s all-electric tractors, customers can now reserve their place in the productions line with as little as a $1000 deposit.

«We’ve decided to decrease the initial deposit to allow customers to express their interest and intent. This is good for our customers and good for our production line,» said Solectrac CEO/Founder, Steve Heckeroth.

Solectrac Inc., North America’s first manufacturer and distributor of quiet, zero emission electric tractors has since grown their manufacturing capabilities to ramp up production and meet demand, while pursuing their long-term goal to reduce carbon output in farming and utility work.

Find out which tractor is right for you with Solectrac’s «Tractor Quiz«

According to Research And Markets, the global agricultural tractor market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.7% through 2027. The market size for less than 40 HP tractors is estimated to reach USD 23.41 billion by 2025. Solectrac’s initial three models focus on the under 40 HP market and have a 70 HP underdevelopment to address the broad needs of the market. Its tractors are specifically designed to serve the needs of community-based farms, vineyards, orchards, equestrian arenas, greenhouses, and hobby farms.

Solectrac is taking reservations for its 40 HP-equivalent eUtility tractor and the 4-wheel drive 30 HP-equivalent compact electric tractor (CET). Both tractors are built to outperform their diesel counterparts by eliminating exhaust and noise and with the benefit of instant torque at low RPM.  Solectrac tractors accommodate existing implements, have a low noise level, and the absence of exhaust makes electric tractors desirable in any environment by improving workers’ health and safety. The additional battery weight benefits the tractor for added traction and stability.

Solectrac’s electric tractors can be charged either from the utility grid or from renewable energy, like solar and wind. Electric tractors are around 5 times more efficient than its diesel alternatives and Solectrac tractors only have one moving part in the motor. Consequently, maintenance and fuel cost over the lifetime of the electric tractor is estimated to be one-third that of a diesel tractor.

«We are excited to see the continued interest in our all-electric tractors,» said Ideanomics CEO, Alf Poor. «This new reservation system allows Solectrac to significantly decrease the initial cost of ownership for its tractors in high demand. The 2021 lineup of all electric tractors continues to showcase the best of Solectrac’s power, efficiency, and connectivity for the growing Agtech industry»

Reservations are open now on Solectrac’s website www.solectrac.com.
