The cold weather brings much more than falling snow and the holiday season. Winter is the best time of year to tackle home renovations. While many people tend to start home improvement projects in the summer, there are many compelling reasons to start renovations during the winter. Rethink your renovation timeline and consider starting home improvement projects during the winter to save time and money down the line. Discover more about how winter renovations are a great investment in the longevity and value of your home.
Winter is considered “off-season” for many contractors and home improvement stores. The warmer months of the year are the most popular for home renovations, meaning there is a lot of competition during the spring and summer. If you were to plan renovations during the winter, contractors’ schedules are much lighter and will allow them to spend more time on each project they take on. Take advantage of the off-season by hiring contractors and starting your home improvement project in the winter.
During the winter, many home improvement outlets have great deals on appliances and tools due to the nature of the slower season. Often they want to offload inventory to make room for new shipments for the spring and summer. Take advantage of discounted cabinets, kitchen counters or bathroom flooring during the winter months to save money on what can be costly home improvement projects. Keep your eye out for deals in late-fall into early winter. Further, there are often deals around major holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year.
Getting out of the house during the holidays can be a pain. Having to deal with hectic travel schedules and visiting family around the country can take its toll. On the other hand, taking time away from your home during the holiday season holds a silver lining if you are in the middle of remodeling a part of your home. An empty home is a dream for a contractor and their team. They will be able to complete the renovation without disturbing the daily life of the homeowners. Being out of the house means they can work longer hours and get the project done by the time you return.
We’ve laid out the reasons why winter is one of the best seasons to remodel your home. Here are some of our suggestions for areas in your home that are great to renovate in the winter. No matter your budget, there are many ways to make small changes that can have a big impact and give your home a new look.
Winter is a great time to work underground and rethink the function of your basement. If you have an unfinished basement, start from scratch and think of how you could best use the space for your family. For active families, consider adding a space for a treadmill or in-home gym. If you regularly host groups at your home, adding a bar could enhance your game nights. For more relaxed families, remodeling the basement for movie nights might be the best route. The opportunities are endless and you can find a multitude of ways to freshen up your basement. Check out our basement remodels and get inspired to create something of your own.
Painting in the winter is one of the best times to give your walls a new look. The cold temperatures allow paint to dry faster, allowing you to get back to your daily life without much inconvenience. Paint is often much cheaper in the winter because it’s considered a slow season for home remodeling projects. Look around your home and find areas that could use a touch-up or deserve a new look.
Prioritize remodeling spaces where the most foot traffic happens. Places in your home like the kitchen, living room or bathroom are great places to consider giving a new look. You don’t have to go all out to make a major difference in your home. Adding new kitchen cabinets or painting over existing ones can transform your kitchen. If you are looking for more space, knocking out a surrounding wall and expanding the kitchen is a great way to maximize your kitchen.
