If you’re planning a home remodeling project, one of the most important choices you need to make is when the work will be done. Many homeowners choose summer for home improvement projects out of fear that cold weather could interfere with the work. But, in fact, winter might just be the best time of year for a number of reasons.

Why You Should Schedule Work During the Winter

1. Open Schedule

Because the warmer months are so popular for residential remodeling, it’s likely most contractors will be booked during this time of year. Additionally, the time it takes to complete the project will be extended, as it will take longer for local government agencies to give you the necessary permits to begin. Conversely, the winter months are less busy for all parties involved, allowing the timing of your project to be much more flexible.

2. Lower Costs

Much like any other industry, the pricing for remodeling is based on demand. Because the winter is less busy for a lot of contractors, many will offer lower rates during this season.

3. Seasonal Vacations

Home remodeling can be very disruptive to your home life, affecting noise levels, home temperatures, and the availability of your utilities on any given day. But if you travel for the holidays, you’ll be out of the house, which makes it a perfect time to get construction work done.

4. Better Weather

Believe it or not, many contractors prefer to work in colder conditions. It’s easier to stay warm than it is to cool down like they would have to in the summer, which means the construction crew will be more efficient and need fewer breaks.
