There are so many options for remodeling your home that can boost not only your home’s value but your overall enjoyment of the space. From kitchen and bath remodeling to whole-home projects and one-room remodels, there’s an option for every budget and every homeowner.
Remodeling projects are often booked months ahead of time. There are many benefits to booking now for a spring or summer or fall remodeling project. It may be hard to think about it with this latest cold snap, but summer – the warmest season of the year – is a great time for a home remodel. Consider these benefits:
There Are More Opportunities for You to Escape the Chaos
For many families, summer offers a little more flexibility in accommodating a remodeling project. Because larger remodeling projects require our design-build team to be in your home for months at a time, it can be nice to have the project happen during the summer when you’re able to escape and take a vacation from it all. You’ll be able to monitor the project from anywhere, since our project management software can be accessed from any computer, so you can get updates on the project without having to physically be in the midst of the mess and noise.
Finish in Time for the Holidays
Although the summer is the busiest season for a home remodel, most homeowners don’t begin to think about house improvements until the fall and early winter. The prospect of holiday visits from family and friends can significantly highlight the frustration you have with your space and the flow of your design. Unfortunately, delaying meetings with contractors and project planning so late in the game can significantly lower the likelihood of completion before the holidays.
The Weather Is Ideal for a Summer Remodel
Summer weather is ideal for a home remodeling project. When you have contractors coming in and out of your house, you don’t want them tracking mud and snow around like they would in the fall and winter months. A summer project will likely be the cleanest. Plus, poor weather conditions won’t slow down the remodeling process because contractors will have no problem driving to and from your house!
Summer lighting is also flawless when it comes to choosing the best paint colors, cabinet materials, tile patterns, and more for the interior of your home. The sun will shine through each and every room in your room, opening up each space to many possibilities that you may not think of during the dreary months.
Embarking on a home remodeling project during the summer months offers a multitude of advantages that can enhance the efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and overall experience of your renovation. Building upon the initial benefits, let’s delve deeper into why summer is an ideal time for home improvements.
Outdoor Spaces Can Be Efficiently Used
When we are doing a kitchen remodel, you often lose the use of your kitchen for an extended period of time. While you’ll be able to set up a microwave and fridge in a separate space throughout the kitchen remodel, summertime affords you the ability to use the outdoors – a grill, an outdoor dining area, and even an outdoor fridge to make it easier to cope with the disruption of the remodeling process.
Reduced Risk of Delays
While we do everything that we can to anticipate and mitigate any delays on a project, they are more likely to happen in the winter, especially with some of the storms we’ve had. So summertime projects can remove the risk of weather-related delays.
Enhanced Energy Efficiency
During the summer, projects that involve improving the energy efficiency of your home can be easily undertaken. Whether it’s replacing all of your windows with ones that are more energy efficient or adding more insulation, summer can be an ideal time to undertake these types of projects, which not only provide you with a much more comfortable living environment but can also save you a considerable amount of money in heating and cooling costs.
Improved Market Value
Remodeling your kitchen or bath offers a significant return on investment. And if you’re thinking of selling your home, completing your remodel beforehand can increase the sales value and make your home more attractive to buyers.
Expand Your Kitchen Outdoors
Warm summer months are the perfect time to consider adding an outdoor kitchen or remodeling your kitchen to extend and blend into your outdoor patio or porch. Outdoor additions and remodels are easier to complete in warm, dry weather.
