Timing is everything when it comes to renovating your home. And now is one of the best times to tackle any of those nagging home improvements you’ve been avoiding. The summer season is ideal since you won’t have to endure any wet or cold weather. And best of all, you won’t have to be cooped up inside during the process. Whether you’re gearing up for a home addition, kitchen reno or bathroom upgrade, if you’re ready to renovate, here’s why there’s no better time than now.
You Have More Spare Time
The summer months are usually when work, school and life in general, tend to slow down a bit. Getting off work a little earlier, having long weekends, and even vacation time away from home can make it more convenient for getting those renovations done. It can also be less disruptive to your daily schedule if you need to be around the home when the contractors are there.
You’ll Have Everything Ready For Winter Entertaining
Conversely, once the fall and winter seasons arrive, family get-togethers and holiday entertaining kick into full gear. Having your kitchen or bathroom upgraded and ready to take on those family dinner parties means you won’t have to stress about accommodating everyone or feeling embarrassed about the condition of your home.
You Can Embrace Your Backyard
Any home reno can be messy, dusty and aggravating to live through, especially for an extended time. Planning a summer renovation lets you enjoy and take advantage of your patio and backyard as an extended living space. This means you can avoid living right in the mix of all the dust and debris while your reno project is underway. This can come in very handy during a kitchen renovation since you can also use your barbeque to prepare meals instead of relying on take-out all the time.
Warm Weather Makes It Easier For Everyone
Of course, the most obvious and beneficial reason why a summer renovation is ideal is thanks to the pleasant weather. Avoiding icy cold temperatures, snow and ice make it easier for everyone involved. This can also equate to fewer weather delays, which will keep your contractors on time, on budget and on schedule.
Enjoy A Fresh New Look
The summertime is also a great time to reassess your home in the sunlight and see what really needs attention after those gruelling winter months. The brighter, longer days, colourful blossoms and pleasant summer vibes offer inspiration and energy to tackle those areas that have been swept aside for too long. This is why homeowners often love to complete upgrades around the home during this season. They get to refresh and liven it up during the glorious summer months while still being able to enjoy the pleasant weather. Renovations tend to become less of a chore as a result and more of an exciting project when you combine warm weather and maybe a refreshing cold beverage or two at the end of the day.
Though there’s always debate surrounding the best time of year to take on renovations, for certain areas, like the bathroom or kitchen, the summer is always ideal. The weather, extra time and slower pace, and the convenience of being able to cook outside all make it much more enjoyable and easier to cope with.
