Remodeling a home can be one of the more costly and time-consuming projects for a homeowner, and with it comes several responsibilities. There are several obstacles that can slow a project down including hidden or surprise costs as well as weather and scheduling issues. Some of these obstacles are directly related to the time of year you are remodeling. Many believe that he best time to remodel is in the late spring to mid-summer. There is certainly compelling information to back up this claim, but the experts at Custom Electrical believe that the earlier in the year – the better.
What is the Best Time to Remodel?
Generally, it’s the winter. January through March is the best window for major remodeling projects. Here are some factors as to why this is true.
Contractors are in their Off-Season
- The winter is an off-season for most contractors, as many people aren’t interested in starting their projects in the cold of winter.
- Since there are less projects scheduled, contractors are more likely to offer lower costs, giving you a better deal.
- There are always exceptions, so make sure you find a trusted contractor who wants to make a fare contract.
Scheduling Becomes Easier
- With both the dearth of work for the contractor, and the unappealing weather, you can take advantage of a wider scheduling window.
- This allows for more time to plan, ensuring you choose the ideal design for your bathroom, kitchen, or new room addition.
Manufacturers are Cleaning House
- When preparing for the new year, material companies are looking to remove their excess product in preparation for new stock.
- This gives you the ability to acquire the right kind of building materials at a much more affordable cost.
Appliances and Furnishings are Cheaper After the Holidays
- After Christmas, almost everything considered a gift is on sale.
- This includes high end appliances; washing machines, dryers, electronics, fridges, and furniture can be purchased at smart prices.
- Some items may have more quantity and variety; this might allow you to get creative with your choices.
