Winter is a great time to tackle your home remodeling project. Yes, the days are shorter – leaving you less time to work. Yes, it’s colder and the weather may not always cooperate. But on the sunny side of things, here are a few reasons why winter remodeling is a hot topic.
Vacations
Many people migrate south for the winter to find warmer weather. If you’re one of many people who prefer to thaw out down south during the winter, then it could be the perfect time to have your project completed by a trusted contractor. Let’s not downplay the advantage of avoiding the racket and associated stress of living through a remodeling project. You’ll want to be away from your home during your winter remodeling project, so why not take a vacation?
Pricing
Because contractors are not as busy during the winter months, they tend to lower prices to pick up more business. Likewise, contractors may raise prices during the spring and summer months to correspond with the demand. Get the best bang for your buck and hire a trusted contractor to knock out your winter remodeling project before the prices begin to go back up.
Manufacturer incentives
Many manufacturers offer incentives to contractors to buy more products during the winter months. In turn, contractors may offer deeper discounted rates and extended warranties to make your winter remodeling project even more advantageous.
Planning and scheduling
Winter remodeling allows more attention to be focused on your job because contractors don’t have as much work during these “downtimes.” The pace of most business slows during winter – especially if Jack Frost has his way with things. It’s easier to find quality contractors to plan your project and schedule the work at your convenience.
Exterior remodeling
Ok… So it’s not advisable to paint the outside of your house during the winter because it tends to be wet in most areas of the country. But there are plenty of other exterior projects that are perfect for winter remodeling. Ideas for winter remodeling are things like, putting up a privacy fence, adding a deck, or enclosing a porch.
