Want to know one of the best-kept remodeling secrets? Winter remodeling plans! The advantages of remodeling during the winter is exactly what you need to hear. It’s something to consider. And I’m here to tell you why!

What time of the year do most people decide to remodel? Spring and summer, right? Those two seasons are the rush hour traffic of home improvement. It’s almost impossible to get your remodel started and completed because other homeowners have the exact same plan.

Now, getting your home remodeled during the winter seems unorthodox, but could be very beneficial when you consider it.

Winter Remodeling: Contractor Availability

Since it isn’t usual for people to work on their homes during the cold weather, contractors are more readily available. Their work schedules obviously slow down in the winter because homeowners don’t want to be inconvenienced by stormy weather. And others worry about remodeling near the holidays.

This being said, contractors may be willing to lower their prices during the winter because they need to keep working. When the number of remodeling jobs decrease, so may the cost!

And seeing as their schedule isn’t as crowded, contractors could also get your remodel done quicker.

Taking a vacation during the holidays or January? That’s a perfect time to get some of your bigger remodels out of the way. Trying to escape the cold New England weather is normal, which makes for an excellent opportunity to get some work done on the house.

Many people choose not to remodel during the winter due to concerns about the fumes and dust. Today, there is technology and clean up methods which control those problems.

Cold Weather Remodeling Projects

So, what remodels do you want completed during the snowy season? A perfect project is replacing your floors. If you’re looking for something new and more durable, take a look at our hardwoods or luxury vinyl plank flooring.

Need a quick pop of character in your home? Install decorative moulding to add an upscale look. Winter is an excellent time to work on all your home’s interiors. Plan to update all the millwork in your home, such as interior doors and stair treads, or even consider adding a new bathroom vanity.

Winter remodeling is well worth the consideration!
