Spring – The Perfect Season To Renovate

Are you planning on renovating your home but don’t know the best time to start? While every household is different, spring is often the best time for a home renovation project. The weather has cleared, summertime is around the corner, and housing markets are about to peak. If you are looking for the perfect time to renovate your home, consider these reasons to renovate in the spring:

Housing Market Peak Season

If you plan on moving in the near future, spring is a great time to perform last-minute renovations. The housing market peaks in the spring, and you don’t want to miss out on potential buyers because your house is tough to sell. The spring and summer is the time of the year that most people commit to buying a home, so you want to ensure it is in the best shape for curb appeal and listings. Renovate your bathroom, enhance your kitchen, or install a new deck. These projects will improve the equity of your home and increase its chances of selling. 

Ready For Summer

Image this: it’s the peak of summer, you’re about to have guests over for dinner, you step out onto your deck, and wham. Your foot goes right through your dry rotted deck. 

Don’t get stuck in a situation like this. Contact a general contractor to get your deck repaired. The last thing you want is to be stuck in a contractor’s queue waiting to enjoy the summer weather. Get your work finished in the spring so you can enjoy it all year long.

Project Timing and Duration

Are you considering a large home renovation? New additions, basement remodels, new floor plans, and other large projects take time. It is a best practice to give your contracting team the widest window possible to complete a project. Large projects are more likely to overrun their completion date, so it is wise to maximize the build time. Unexpected housing issues, bad weather, and other unplanned occurrences can happen when dealing with a large project. If you begin in the spring, you will give yourself the most time possible to complete a project. 

Cost Savings

Spring is the season when many showrooms and suppliers liquidate their past season’s inventory. It is the best time of the year to catch a deal on supplies for a project. While it is not guaranteed that you will score big savings, it doesn’t hurt to try! Starting that home renovation in the spring could help you get that desired look for your home without having to pay top dollar.

Perfect Renovating Weather

As stated above, weather conditions greatly impact projects performed on your home. If you are going to be painting the interior of your home, ventilation is required. Painting the outside? Moisture and temperature need to be considered.

General Contractor Tip

You’re not the only person looking to complete some projects around the house. Home renovation season is a sign of warmer weather and general contractors picking up new business. It is best to contact a contractor months in advance of a project to avoid the project being delayed. Get in touch with your local contractor in the fall or winter to book your spring project. You’ll get ahead of the competition and have your project completed before others.
