Block Renovation announced that it has acquired BuildZoom Marketplace and will now expand its AI-powered renovation and construction platform across all 50 states. The combined company processes more than $100 million in annual renovation and construction projects and will operate as a centralized destination for residential and small commercial building projects nationwide.
The acquisition merges BuildZoom Marketplace’s contractor network and demand engine with Block’s renovation planning, design tools, and AI workflows. This integration is expected to create a streamlined experience for property owners seeking accurate pricing, vetted contractor matches, and project support, while providing contractors with pre-qualified leads and enhanced client education before project kickoff.
As part of the deal, Block is extending its offerings beyond the residential renovation market to include new single-family and multi-family builds, which represent an estimated $530 billion market opportunity, as well as small commercial projects such as restaurants, clinics, and retail buildouts, a sector accounting for an additional $200–$300 billion in annual spending.
The company believes this expansion addresses ongoing structural challenges faced by nearly 100 million U.S. property owners, including a shortage of housing, aging building stock, and a construction process that has traditionally been fragmented and difficult to navigate.
Block also emphasized that its platform is designed to improve clarity for property owners and efficiency for contractors, guiding projects from the design phase through hiring and ongoing support with built-in pricing transparency, visualization tools, and project protections.
The strategic outcomes highlighted in connection with the acquisition are:
- Nationwide availability of Block’s renovation and construction platform.
- Expansion into new residential construction across single- and multi-family properties.
- Extension of services to support small commercial projects nationwide.
