Is There Such a Thing as the Perfect Remodeling Season?
Summer is the busiest time for remodeling companies, because most people remodel their homes when the weather is sunny and warm. But for each one the remodeling season may not depend on the weather but on your remodeling budget.
Study the market situation, so that you can calculate the time for your home improvement project. Some contractors have busy seasons, so try and find out when they don’t have too much work and can concentrate on yours and charge less too. Also, building materials like paint, lumber and cement fluctuate according to demand. Plan your project in such a way that you can buy the materials when they are cheap and keep them aside for remodeling, when the contractor is free.
An extremely busy contractor may not be able to do his job well and make mistakes, because he has to shift from one job to the other in a limited period of time. Try and avoid the main rush, so that the contractor can devote enough time to your project. This requires careful planning and a bit of flexibility, for which you will get excellent service from the contractors.
If you are remodeling your furnaces, get them checked by mid or late summer. Try to do window replacements in early spring and servicing of air-conditioning units in late fall. Plan in advance and contact your contractors in winter, when they are not busy, so that your projects are dealt with before the summer rush begins.
In any case, all home improvement projects require careful planning. It is not possible to schedule all of them in an off-season period, but if some of them are done before the actual work begins, you will be saving both your time and money considerably.
