Slow Start to '26? Not for JM! Thankful for Referrals and Staying Busy Despite a Slow Quarter for Remodelers

The first quarter of 2026 started slow for many remodelers across the country, but at JM Remodeling, we have been fortunate to stay busy and continue delivering quality work to our clients. We owe this success to the trust and support of our community here in Geneva NY and the Finger Lakes region. Today, I want to share how referrals have played a crucial role in keeping our team active and motivated, and why choosing us means choosing craftsmanship and care for your bathroom remodel.

How Referrals Keep Us Going

Referrals are the lifeblood of our business. We don't advertise extensively. We don't have billboards on the New York State Thruway. We're not interuppting your favorite Hulu show. When a satisfied client recommends JM Remodeling to their friends, family, or neighbors, it means more than just a new project for a big company. It means Jacob, Goose, Liam, Steve, and Becca work together to bring your vision to life. It means trust in our work, respect for small, family-oriented team, and a shared commitment to quality. This word-of-mouth support has helped us maintain a steady flow of projects, even when the market slows down. So, we thank you!

In the Finger Lakes area, where community ties run deep, referrals carry extra weight. People want to work with remodelers who understand local styles, weather considerations, and the unique character of homes here. Our clients know that we listen carefully to their needs and deliver bathroom remodels that blend function and beauty.

Booked with Quality Bathroom Remodels

While some remodelers faced a slow start to 2026 according to Houzz Industry Barometer, we focused on what we do best: creating bathrooms that enhance daily life. From updating fixtures and improving layouts to installing energy-efficient lighting, ADA accessible showers, and durable surfaces, every project we take on reflects our dedication to craftsmanship and your individual project.

For example, one recent bathroom remodel in Waterloo NY involved transforming a cramped, outdated space into a bright, open space with a walk-in shower and grab bars, enhancing accessibility. We installed a walk-in shower, added storage solutions tailored to the homeowner’s needs, and upgraded the lighting to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The client’s positive feedback and referral to their neighbors led to two more projects in the same neighborhood.
