Thinking of a kitchen remodel?
Not only can a refreshed kitchen breathe new life into your home, it can be a great selling point, as well.
If you’re planning on pulling the trigger but not until spring, you may want to change your mind.
There are a lot of reasons that redoing your kitchen in the winter is actually a better idea.
Take a look at these “whys” before you schedule a spring remodel.
You’ll save money
It’s all about supply and demand.
The demand is lower in the winter months, so the costs go down.
Often, manufacturers and suppliers are trying to get rid of their excess stock and make room for the new products so they’ll offer deep discounts.
You may even be able to save on your contractor’s fees, too. It’s a slow time for them, so they may be willing to make a deal to keep their own workflow steady through the season.
It’s better for the paint
It may seem silly, but it’s true.
The colder air provides a better environment for the paint to dry.
It will dry more quickly, too, which means less time that you or your contractor has to wait before moving the project along.
It’s a great excuse for a vacation
Many people get a little bit down when the skies seem to be gray for days on end and there’s not much precious Vitamin D to be soaked up.
Remodeling your kitchen in the winter provides a great time for you to take off with the kids and visit someplace warm while the work is being done.
You’ll be out of the house for the messy process, soak up some rays and good family time, and come home to a new kitchen. Does it get any better than that?
Your contractor is more available
As was previously mentioned, the winter months are the slow season for those in the remodeling business.
That’s good for you because he’ll probably be available to start your project right away.
He’ll also have more time to devote to listening to your needs and wants for your new space.
You also won’t have to worry that anyone’s rushing through your remodel to get onto the next job.
It’s a win-win.
It’s a great time for adding on
If your kitchen remodel includes expanding your space, winter is a great time.
The colder temps are actually preferable for things like digging foundations and pouring concrete.
The cold dry air and frozen ground are actually a plus for these tasks. Who knew?!
Plus, you’ll be able to have the area under cover before the rainy spring hits.
Get started
A remodel of any kind is expensive. Saving money is one of the best reasons to remodel your kitchen space in the winter, but it isn’t the only one.
You’ll also have the benefit of a much more available contractor as well as more optimal conditions for the work you need to have done.
