Many homeowners overlook the winter time as the optimal remodeling season. However, beginning your remodeling process during the winter months comes with many benefits. Today we will take a look at some of these benefits to help you decide if a winter remodel is right for you.
As stated before, a lot of homeowners don’t consider winter as the best time to start a home remodel. Spring and summer is when most people begin to think about creating a new backyard, kitchen, or even room addition that will be great for the warmer months. By starting your remodel in the spring or summer, you will have to wait at least an entire year to get optimal enjoyment out of these renovations. For example, let’s say that the warm weather helps entice your interest in a pool or outdoor living space. Renovations take quite some time, meaning that by the time your remodel is ready you will have missed the perfect time of year for your remodels use. By starting the same remodel in the winter, your home will be ready to enjoy by the time summer rolls around.
Since many homeowners opt to remodel in the summer or spring, contractors tend to have a more open schedule in the winter. This means that they are more likely to be able to take on your remodel. This could also lead to a faster overall process, as your contractor will have more time to pull permits and search through inventory. This time cushin is great because if there are any complications along the way, there is more time to deal with them, helping your remodel stay on track to be ready by the time the warm weather hits.
Because so many people decide to plan their remodel in the summer, many manufacturers will raise their prices during this time. This means that a summer remodel could potentially lead to you paying more for appliances and materials. By remodeling in the winter, you may be able to find better deals on these items. Manufacturers will lower prices to be able to sell more material during the off season.
If you are a parent, you know how stressful summer vacation can be. Your kids need to be constantly entertained. Remodeling during their vacation time will be extremely hectic and pile on to your stress level. By remodeling in the winter, the construction being done on your home will not interfere with your children’s off time. Not only that, but remodels such as a pool or outdoor living space will provide them with plenty of entertainment opportunity.
