In part one of this two-part blog series, we went over some of the primary reasons why certain homeowners plan many of their major remodeling efforts for winter. From the fact that remodels are indoors to several other basic qualities, there are a few situations where arranging such remodels for the cold part of the year is the prudent move.
At Ideal Kitchen & Bath, we’re proud to offer custom kitchen and bathroom remodeling services throughout Orem and Northern Utah, working with our clients through every part of the process, from design to completion. What are some other reasons this might be an ideal time of year for your remodeling needs? Here are a few to keep in mind.
Scheduling Ease
Since more home renovations and remodels take place in spring, fall and even summer, there’s a strong likelihood that your contractor will have fewer appointments to deal with at this time of year. This means it will be easier for you to schedule your remodeling appointment, which can bring along with it a number of benefits.
For example, you’ll be able to schedule your appointments for times that are most convenient for you. If this is something you struggle with doing during the spring and summer months, when so many people are trying to find time in their schedules to get work done on their homes, consider the winter period where you might have more flexibility.
Supply Lines
There are also a few cases where the availability of certain supplies is more likely during this time of year. For example, there are certain kitchen appliances that are only available with popular designs and colors during the winter months.
At Ideal Kitchen & Bath, we build custom cabinetry and countertops to perfectly fit your appliances. This way, you won’t have to worry about the lines between your countertops and appliances not matching up.
Insulation Considerations
One vital component that’s sometimes glossed over by homeowners during a remodel: Ensuring proper insulation, which will keep your HVAC bills low and your energy efficiency high. And while this is an area that any quality remodeling contractor will remind you of, remodeling during winter serves as a handy reminder of the importance of insulation — when you can feel the drafts of cold air entering the home during the remodel, for instance, this is a great opportunity to make the case for beefier insulation.
